This isn’t a lecture.
We’ve had too many of those no matter how elegantly written.
Instead a suggestion if I may?
And I will.
If you elect to let it fly by invest in something, something obnoxiously opulent.
Watch the time tick by in style.

Promises to Keep
Haiku 1.6.15 (3)
Adventurous smiles-
my thoughts unknown to the world-
the risk was worth it.
Poem 1.2.14 (1)
A foundation of strength prevents a weak house.
A voice, a pillar, a moment of time all shared through the power of a story.
Just one lifetime.
Left behind we will revel and climb to higher places. We didn’t have to start from the bottom.
I can leave a greater foundation for the next generation.
Eternally grateful – Constantly smiling.
SJ
Inevitably Vain
Two standing, one fallen.
Two proud, one now lacking the power to stand tall.
Against the backdrop their position could not be clearer.
Two understand that one day, one day their time will come.
Until then- the two will take advantage of each opportunity, ray of sunshine.
No one wants the final fall to be made in vain.
Haiku 1121 (1)
Alter recipes,
Have someone else stir it up,
With trust taste evolves.
Life Notes
Put the words to the page-
Don’t read them once you finish the sentence.
Go on, move forward take them at face value.
Complete that thought whether it hurts or feels empowering.
I thought I knew it all that everything made sense. I didn’t expect for my understanding to spin out of control. Surprisingly I am grateful for the new awareness as the page is flipped to the next chapter.
Natural Casualty
Fallen but its beauty only changes.
Gone is the prestige of standing tall and proud.
It’s replaced by an understanding that there is an opportunity to give back.
From a new perspective the view of the world doesn’t change but what can be offered has changed forever.
Restricted
It is empty yet filled with thoughts.
It was limited by walls but not by a ceiling.
I am unique among structures of conformity.
Infamous Last Words
What would you say if you knew this was the last time someone would listen?
Would you be trite or verbose? Perhaps comical instead of serious?
Is there some piece of information, some lesson learned or regret that could alter the lives of those around you? Hell, the world around you?
What do you think, is it buried deep inside of you? Are you hopeful that in the final seconds it will escape your lips?
What a pity then that you didn’t think to say it sooner.
