The thing about darkness
is the eventual light
It never takes much
to brighten the night
What does is white
a cool beacon inviting
Almost everything is drawn
never really knowing why
What is very important
however is that we
Always remain the light
most live in darkness

Kind (for sweet pea)
In order to be kind one must first be humble for without humility kindness sours into selfishness.
MorningsBallet
With coffee on board
and dressed in jammies
I settle down to
watch the kaleidoscope morning
sky spin and twirl
with the same unabashed
excitement as schoolgirl
ballet performers unashamedly free
if I listen closely
enough I can hear
giggles of glee as
the clouds open to
sunlight like those same
children’s smiles upon hearing
the applause from parents
and siblings and friends
Oh that coffee’s hot
What a marvelous morning
MaybeLionLikelyMouse
I can say with
confidence that a mouse
is just as happy
as a lion having
once been a lion
and now a mouse
Oh I know that
we always point to
the grand noticeable things
thinking wouldn’t it be
great to be that
Being that is great
if that is meant
for you to be
But being a lion
is no better than
being a mouse for
while everyone wants to
be the lion only
lions can I personally
like being a mouse
having once been a
lion it’s so much
easier what with the
upkeep of that mane
Giant (to Luis)
I met a giant
someone who I’d naturally
avoid like brussel sprouts
when at first spied
having I suppose before
tasted and disliked and
therefore learned to dodge
But this giant was
different he sauntered over
and calmly sat down
and talked about life
and love and intimacy
he indeed waxed poetic
and I sat mesmerized
This giant taught me
an age old lesson
Run towards your fears
and never away for
this giant admitted that
he too feared me
