leave a message
When was the last time you left a message for someone?
paper lanterns
wishing for one
more clear day
…
after the beep
because one day
we may find ourselves
in need of
wanting to hear
the voices of the past
once again
red carpet
How do you like to be treated?
winter lights
the garage is pleased
to see us return
…
the level of service
and treatment
we receive
whether good or bad
will always be
something we remember
and tell others about
the bird and the branch
Do you trust yourself?
in the desert
the magpie cried
for rain showers
…
do we trust
the foundation
we land on
even if it breaks
or will we use
our wings to fly
to the sky?
leave the nest
Are you ready to see the world?
make a choice
to leave the canopy
as the rain falls
…
and see the world
they say
then we will
eventually find
another tree
and branch to snatch
and build our nest
seriously silly
What is humorous to you?
early memories
of blowing bubbles
in the tub
…
the sound of laughter
is all the medicine
we could ever need
even if everything
around us feels
hopeless and
absolutely boring
eyes closed
little bakery
the smell of corn bread
fills the alleyway
…
and with
a little help
from our mind
will open up
a world of
possibilities
and opportunities
deal us in
What are you doing with your life?
stay ready
a break in between
rain showers
…
the cards
we are dealt
may seem
for or against us
but it matters not
as we are free
to choose what to do
seeds planted
Is your destination worth the work?
left alone
the rake looks
at fallen leaves
…
today give us
an opportunity
to look forward
to future fruit
but not without
labor and love
for the journey
