Leave the Circus outside the Circle
With every passing decade I learn I grow from the experiences Hardship or Triumph Makes no difference They both produce fruit Because I am watching Observing the actions and responses Feeling my soul deep inside How else to measure the growth But to look into others eyes Hear their words Or lack of them Do they turn to me Or fall away Was it … Read More Leave the Circus outside the Circle

The Hope Of New
There is a time for everything under the sun There are decades and eras They bring with them trials Tragedies and Triumphs The best of times The worst of times The lessons learned To only give up when the ship Will take you down So you must jump Jump and the Universe will catch you Stubbornness may serve you Or it may drown you … Read More The Hope Of New
I Can Feel It

The Seed of Transformation
A mustard seed is the most humble of all So small, so unassuming It does not know that its destiny is to be GREAT and TALL When it fell to the ground it worried Many birds came and ate many seeds But this little seed had a destiny It was trampled upon Dirt covered it Darkness consumed it It wondered whether It would have … Read More The Seed of Transformation

Born to be Free
I am breathing hard as my steps are pulling me forward Winding through the trees my heart races I left the path seeking adventure Always needing to explore to find the unexpected There is just so much more So many live by the rules Safe in a ritual of obsessive order Stifled by a strict regiment I ran out the door Freedom is power … Read More Born to be Free
