Rare

The same

Pressures that

Surround us

Are the

Same pressures

That caused

Us to

Be rare

HappySorrow (to Rare)

We often

Think that

Life is

Meant to

Make us

Better that

Somehow if

We pay

The dues

We’ll be

Happy what

If we’re

Already happy

And instead

Learn sorrow

For it’s

There and

Only there

Filled with

Sorrow that

We understand

What it

Means to

Be truly

Human beings

Quest (to Rare)

Quest upon

Accepting one

You’re told

The outcome

It becomes

An adventure

Only upon

Beginning and

Becomes a

Success not

When you

Achieve the

Prize but

Rather when

You assimilate

All the

Pieces gathered

Along the

Way so

Is love

And life

My dear

Dear friends

Trees (to Chetan)

A tree

We see

Is not

The tree

That is

A tree

We see

Is upside

Down while

What we

See may

Be beautiful

It’s roots

Are it’s

Strength as

Are we

LogJam (to Bryan)

And then

The logs

Jammed down

River and

The more

I jumped

And pushed

And pulled

The tighter

They became

Then I

Knew that

I had

Nothing to

Do with

The quagmire

And surrendered

Allowing the

River to

Untangle itself
