Paradise.
You See It—
I see—
And that is why we will never see it together.
poem
Overgrown
If given a chance anything will take over.
Will you be passive?
or
Will you grow?
Today I Feel Like
Either, or, and of course both.
The 4th Step
No matter how far you’ve gone,
Regardless of how many steps you’ve taken.
One more is monumental.
It is smaller than any of the others but it triggers,
Self doubt, worry, paranoia, panic.
Not the fear of failure but the fear of failing to succeed.
Fortunately success is the only answer, option, and possibility.
Release Extended
Escaping the cell,
Ascend into the pursuit,
Feeling lit, be free-
kiss free-
love free-
ask free-
look free-
drink free-
dance free-
smile free-
-End Free-
Scattered Words
Three Lefts
These lanes only go left.
This light only allows you to turn when it’s green.
The birds do as they please, chirping their laughter at you
As they are free; free to go east or west, free to go north and south, no restrictions can ever be placed.
The birds can not allow it.
Why, why exactly should you?
Come Not
Predator
Always there just off in the distance,
Lurking.
Continuing its approach undaunted by outside forces,
Preparing.
Calculating how much effort is needed for success and then doubling it,
Attacking.
Undismayed by its result, entitled to its position,
Savoring,
The victory rightfully theirs.
Perspective, Perspectives
Is it better to be on the inside or out?
The fog suggests greater warmth within, the sunlights hints of substantial beauty on the periphery.
To have both is impossible, each ruins the promise made by the other.
It is not merely a matter of which path, if only it could be that simple.
You might be surprised to find both can work. Neither is permanent.
Much like your perspective.
