Silent Service

Hold tight to those you care for. Make yourself and your love available.   The dark takes us all sometimes. One extended hand can pull them away in time.   Those who need it will take it. Those that don’t, won’t.   Be ready and respectful when they do. All they needed was the strength…

Winding Way

Walk Straight. That’s what they say. Divert a little, you’ll lose your way.   In spite of that, I take every detour. If I don’t make it back, I’ll endure.   The way isn’t straight. It winds and weaves. It changes at such a rate You forget you can leave.   Take a path. Follow…

Redline

“When you’ve done all you set out to do, How do you shift into second gear?   I know where the gas is, But where’s the clutch?   There’s work to be done. Heights, before unreal, to reach.   All original goals have been achieved. Now, the new set looms in their place.   The…

Dawn Today

“Here is sit having accomplished my goal. Though it seems to me I’ve dug myself into a hole.   Having “finished” such a momentous task. “What else is there?”, you might ask.   Having brought the beginning of my story to light. Leaving it in that state wouldn’t be right.   My story and work…

Seeing Success

“Think about success. What does it mean to succeed? One thing to others. A different thing to me.   Success is comfort and fun, And it comes in many forms. Some can’t see their own success Through the shade of being worked and worn.   Some work their whole lives And never achieve their version….

From Spark to Flame

“An idea is like a spark. The necessary start to any blaze.   Once you catch it, you must act quickly. Fueling the spark with your work as kindling.   First the small deeds. Conversation and preparation are your twigs.   Then come the meatier branches. Production and promotion to build upon.   By now,…

Just a Pup

Just a Pup “A child-like mind. With feelings just like mine.   Deemed less than sentient. To me, she was sent.   Displays a range of emotions. A contradictory notion.   All she knows how to do is love. A feeling not taught but passed from above.   Thoughts on display. With no voice to…

Vicious

Vicious “Life. The vicious cycle. Meant to be taken day by day.   Each day is different. Some good. Some bad.   Some days make the rest worth it. The rest make you yearn for the latter. Though, the only way through is through.   No breaks. No timeouts.   Moods hit. Losses hit. Stresses…

Above Average

Above Average I am just smart enough to stimulate ideas and also learn.     I am not just a happy medium.  I am an overaccentuated view from above average.     This is how I take from my peers.     Peers being of all ages and origins.  As intellect transcends those barriers.

Wound Up

Wound Up   When will the world move on?   The signs are all there. A huge windup of events. Which at any point could be let loose. A bowstring being pulled.   Screaming earth begs for mercy. An economy tighter and thinner than the string. Neither cares for the other. Earth and natural life…
