poem-unexpected April 24, 2016
You had plans
expectations
fought to bring them to fruition.
Imagine your surprise
when they were realized,
to find what you’d surmised
to be a paradise, what you fantasized
is actually a ruination
and your frustration forces a
mutation of
your plans.
poem-journey February 24, 2016
There is anticipation
in the preparation
equal to arriving
at the destination.
poem- accomplishments November 22, 2014
The litany of what could be
is not as important as
what is now.
What was before
is not as important as
what is now.
For now is all
you ever have.
poem- now February 6, 2014
You’ve been waiting,
watching,
wondering,
but now
it’s time to act.
Stop planning,
scheming,
dreaming,
and do.
Face the task.
Make it happen.
Decide as you go along.
It’s time,
now.
