DunkingForApples

When all there is

Is what there is

Things sour become bitter

And begin to stink

Sometimes with all things

You just let go

To all things known

And dive head long

Into very cold water

Biting and biting still

Emerging with an apple

SoIGo

Sometimes there are those

In life that say

Oh what the fuck

Grit teeth and jump

I’m one of those

Oh we get punched

Punished and usually bruised

We always stand up

We are driven to

Be different not because

We want to be

But because we can

And even still at

My older age I’d

Rather leap than stay

I don’t seek safety

I never ever have

You know every leaf

Is content being green

Because it doesn’t know

What fall feels like

And once it does

It’s never leaf again

It becomes something more

And so I go

Tumbling

I have always wondered

What gymnasts see tumbling

I’ve talked to some

And here’s something remarkable

They don’t see anything

Their mind is focused

On the next landing

What if we all

Are like the acrobats

Jumping turning and flying

And that just maybe

All that really matters

Is sticking your landing

And then looking back

In awe of it

Manifestations2

I promise my dreams

My life to make

Them always come true

Universe I do believe

That if I see

I have if I

Know then I shall

Universe stand with me

As I bring your

Blessings into my reality

Manifestations

Universe I am asking

You to give me

Denver a small home

With fireplace music and

Furniture not too much

Enough to make friends

Comfortable fill my home

With love peace prosperity

With laughter celebration joy

Universe show me this
