The chaos in and around
city
town or
country
like strong prairie winds
that push aside
all the growing things
uprooting some, but
have no purchase on roots
reaching deep,
growing strong
to nourish us tomorrow.
“Chaos is the score upon which reality is written”
~ Henry Miller, writer
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
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
