Here is my
New Year’s resolution
I promise myself
I will have
Peace love affection
Respect kindness compassion
Wit sarcasm frivolity
With whomever I
Ever do encounter
And that will
Bring us joy
And will bring
Us forever closer
And never apart
Here is my
New Year’s resolution
I promise myself
I will have
Peace love affection
Respect kindness compassion
Wit sarcasm frivolity
With whomever I
Ever do encounter
And that will
Bring us joy
And will bring
Us forever closer
And never apart
Have you ever thought
That maybe just maybe
You were placed in
Someone else’s path not
To find your happiness
But for them to
Find theirs not in
You but past you
What if we stopped
Looking for what we
Want and rather be
What the other needs
So that they can
Be their best self
It’s really very interesting
How small things are
When you accept them
The tinier you feel
The smaller the world
Be not your surroundings
They hold you within
Your mind is marvelous
Filled with many places
When you are small
Let your mind wander
And then when free
Explore only those things
That your mind imagined
And once again
I set sail
Alone in my
Hearts little boat
But this time
I will avoid
The stormy seas
And rather paddle
About on the
Pond of experience
Finally now understanding
That even mermaids
Are sea monsters
We all hang on
Vines some of us
Are picked but most
Of us spend forever
Hanging and basking in
The sun and shiver
In the night hoping
But never ever knowing
For certain that the
Sun will warm again
Those are the those
Who choose to wither
They choose comfort over
Discomfort they choose to
Be next years compost
Rather than this years
Yield how you may
Ask then how does
One on the vine
Who isn’t picked become
Part of the yield
They time their jump
Precisely into the hands
Of the picker most
Fail but isn’t the
Hope of being something
Else worth the risk
