hard to believe
What are you having trouble with?
overflowing
the bird bath drips
and drips
…
about four years ago
is when everyone
and everything changed
from history that seemed
to be outside of our control
until we acknowledge
we brought this upon ourselves
marathoners
Who’s path are you setting?
hail!
the path turns
to white
…
while most of us
need to prepare
and train in advance of
the set date and course
there are others
who regularly set
their own path and pace
shake on it
What is your agreement with yourself?
respect
the bee salutes
blooming flowers
…
it takes more
than just having
a seat at the table
to set the terms
on agreements
that impact us
and our community
wireframes
How do you arrange your thoughts and ideas?
green profile
the willow tree
wraps the fence
…
when guiding others
much of the time
we spend thinking
how something will look like
should actually be spent
on what something
should actually do
front row seats
Who’s perspective do you value?
waving flags
the stadium rises
for allegiance
…
back row seats,
booths, and suites
all have us
watching the game
but our view
of it all
is never the same
reservations
What are your doubts?
coming and going
approaching midnight
the last train departs
…
we all have
our doubts about
someone or something
but despite our attitude
towards the truth, truthfulness
or trustworthiness
we all have decisions to make
mascots and trolls
Can you tell the difference between supporters and saboteurs?
follow the circle
a biscuit awaits
pearly fangs
…
in any event
there will be those
who cheer us on
and those
who seek to poke fun
or deter us from the goal
of making a difference
feats and flaws
Do you accept yourself?
creased lines
the package rests
on the doorstep
…
show us
that no matter
how much we seek
to reach our goal
we should come
to accept the results
but ourselves even more
wrote the book
What are you an expert in?
apartment closet
squeaking and hiding
family heirlooms
…
on ___ subject
not only gives us
an opportunity to show
what we have come
to learn overtime
but that this is just
the beginning to the story
potted plants
Are you being passive or proactive today?
pineapple field
yellowing leaves curl
towards the ocean
…
it’s always
a good thing
to check in
with ourselves
before we make
a decision to keep things
the same or change
eat this, not that
What did you eat today?
ripe bananas
looking forward
to old age
…
opinions
suggestions
recommendations
are all inputs
we have at our disposal
until the time comes
for us to make a decision
according to
Who do you listen to?
the lake
becomes
the desert
…
our friends
our family
the internet
and artificial intelligence
our level of trust
in each of these groups
will change overtime
