Freedom

Now is not 
the time to
forget but remember
that one man
does not make
himself a nation
but a nation
makes every man
whatever he wants
himself to be
and this pledge
freedom for all
will never silence
not by tyranny
or by bigotry
or by greed
because by liberty
our voices ring

Orbit

Dreams are
almost always
very selfish
me my
and mine
wishes too
also revolve
around you
but we
are not
the sun
but rather
just cold
hard rock
caught in
someone’s orbit

Dimples

In the simple 
I find dimples
those little dents
where angels meant
to make smiles
shine through miles
oh those pockets
perfect for lockets
to remind me
of what I
long to see

Change

People have 
a bazillion
solid reasons
why they
shouldn’t change
and there’s
only ever
going to
be one
reason why
they can
and most
will stop
looking for
it because
suffering with
what is
is easier
those who
quit themselves
will always
be the
ones who
love wondering

For

Gratitude isn’t 
very grand
dreams are
and wishes
can be
but gratitude
like kindness
is frequently
very simple
and quiet
just a
thanks for
