It’s never really about
The explosion of light
Or even the aaahhhs
And it’s never about
All of the expectations
It’s only ever about
Feeling like a child
Again once again yet
Again this is what
Fireworks and love does
To and for us

MerryChristmas 🎄
And so it’s Christmas
I love this holiday
Even at my age
There’s something that happens
Around this time hope
Seems like it’s everywhere
I think that’s what
Christmas means to me
More than anything else
So I hope for
You wherever you are
When you read this
That whatever you wish
For will come true
Merry Christmas my friends
Mommy!
It is truly amazing
How something as simple
As a cold can
Reduce even the mightiest
The confident and articulate
Into nothing more than
A mewing sniffing toddler
Crawling under the covers
And asking for mommy
This is what I
Think when they say
Even the old will
Turn into young again
DreamDreamAgain
I’ve lived several lives
This life time around
Each one an adventure
Full of awed inspiration
Of amazing beauty and
Hours of quiet contemplation
I chased my dreams
And made them reality
Realizing that the true
Strength in life is
Not just having dreams
But recognizing when you
Capture them giving room
To dream yet again
GenZ
We almost lost everything
A mutiny was underway
Led by a despot
And joined by lunatics
Marching through the streets
Pitchforks and baseball bats
Weaponizing their own theology
Storming our democracy’s ideals
Pounding at the bastion
Praying for a miracle
And one indeed came
The same as Iran
The same as Russia
The same as Ukraine
GenZ took up arms
And claimed their future
Thank you worldwide GenZ
Earth belongs to you
