All of Life

All of life is 

   to prepare

     to anticipate 

without sitting on the edge 

but being aware 

that life could be ruled 

by others 

  ~ people or situations ~ 

a naive thought, 

   yet one that offers

 strength and courage to choose the life that is given. 

Today will shape tomorrow, 

  and leave an interesting path 

through the yesterdays of life.


“We may run, walk, stumble, drive or fly, but let us never lose sight 

of the reason of the journey or miss a chance to see a rainbow on the way.”

~ Gloria Gaither, songwriter

Into the Green Grass

When I let my thoughts


roam free


some wander into tomorrow 


~ into the green grass 


of a nebulous future,


feeling my mind’s toes curling


into that distant moist wet grass 


with a longing 


that pulls me away from today.


“You must give everything to make your life as beautiful 

as the dreams that dance in your imagination.”

~ Roman Payne, novelist and poet

Believe in Yourself

Emotions will never reach tomorrow 


~ too fluid unless we hang on


The dips and the dives of 


those slippery ‘feels’ change 


with the tides of each day


The tides of tomorrow will be different


maybe calm or steady or wild 


so belief in yourself and 


the life that you live is 


the rudder that steers you through life.


“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”

~ Arthur Ashe
