My three favorite words
Are I did it
I see life not
As an obstacle course
Designed not to give
But as an adventure
One of promise and
Of dreams and hope
Life is a marvelous
Thing to be enjoyed
And not merely survived
And the cornerstone of
Life is accepting that
Whatever I have no
Matter how little is
Always enough no matter
What the naysayers think

Oh if the world
Only understood but I
Have grown hoarse shouting
Even generals and gurus
Grow silent after awhile
The world runs amuck
Rooting and rutting ruining
At some point even
Those leading or cautioning
Retreat knowing that many
If not all will
Run off the cliff
NoMoreTinSoldiers
Now on the cusp
Of realizing my dreams
I find that I
Don’t and never did
Ever need anyone else
Oh I do suppose
That I like others
Did once believe that
Only because others did
Many others in fact
That we all marched
Kept in tidy formation
Like little tin soldiers
Until at some point
We understood that dreams
Are personal and only
Belong to those brave
Enough to cast them
I have now found
Just as much joy
Fishing in a pond
Absent of any fish
Then in a pond
Chock full for it’s
Not what is caught
But the simple joy
In knowing you do
HereHereAnd
And from the darkness
Came a voice I’m
Here here and everywhere
And this voice said
Nothing more nothing more
Than I’m here here
And everywhere and I
Expecting an Angel or
Demon to appear came
None but the voice
Echoing I’m here here
And everywhere and standing
So still like a
Feather mid flight I
Listened and finally heard
No no not heard
But felt the voice
Pleading and then repeating
I’m here here and
Everywhere anyone’s ever been
And ever will be
Yet nobody ever knows
Future
The future is
One step away
You can stay
Where you are
But that future
Will avoid you
For the future
Only ever comes
To those moving
Fail you will
Succeed you might
But your future
Indeed surrounds you
Front and back
Left or right
Dare to move
