If only life
was as easy
as child’s play
I have me
have me not
plucking of petals
of starting somewhere
ending somewhere else
excited by prospect
acceptance at end
given to fate
and it is
and when like
children we dislike
the outcome of
our haphazard plucking
we simply pick
another flower and
some of us
lay waste to
an entire field
in a desperate
hope to find
that perfect one

Chase
Why would
anyone accept
when anyone
can have
why take
what’s offered
when what’s
desired is
truly magnificent
every life
only ever
is choices
grab if
you must
but chase
when you
can no
pot of
gold has
ever been
found by
those settling
Dreamers
It’s funny
this growth
I now
finally realize
that having
dreams and
making them
come true
are different
I dream
we dream
but making
requires a
march a
campaign usually
much longer
than planned
with retreats
and obstacles
sieges seizing
finally victorious
and taking
their spoils
carry on
my dreamers
make happen
Parentheses
Being who you
are versus who
what others want
is a question
I frequently ask
is it better
to just be
or be whatever
everyone else wants
Answer me this
whom is with
you whenever everyone
else leaves (
don’t kid yourself
everyone leaves eventually
) who’s there
parentheses do little
things that keep
after thoughts together
GenerallyTrees
I have noticed
that the leaves
farther from the
trunk of trees
do turn first
like I imagine
soldiers do too
those on the
front lines feeling
first the change
those further back
hold on longer
not only loyal
but also wiser
very few leaves
ever become trees
and very few
soldiers become generals
