work forever
What are your endeavors for work?
the truth rests
at the bottom
of our cups
…
they said
work together
we did
work wherever
they said
work endeavor
we did
all it takes
Does your passion have purpose?
who knows
we will find purpose
looking at tulips
…
is one person
is one plan
is one product
is one passion
is one purchase
is one purpose
from our perspective
everything out
Are you planning everything out?
cooking pork
the sizzle meets oil
for another dance
…
read everything out
speak everything out
write everything out
for then the next time
we revisit this subject
we will have a mental map
and know what to keep or take out
arrive five minutes early
Are you showing up early?
pure bliss
the only car in
the parking lot
…
and we may find
our journey
to the destination
will be rewarded
with a warm welcome
by the store owner
before the afternoon rush
a great idea
What ideas do you have?
how to think
when the rain
keeps on falling
…
is not a good idea
is not a bad idea
is not a super idea
is not a worst idea
is not a fun idea
is not a boring idea
it’s a great idea.
skip the credits
Do you read the fine print?
instrumental
when the horns play
the crowd goes home
…
at the beginning
at the ending
and we will miss
out on the people
and production
that took part
in creating the art
look around
What environment are you paying attention to?
afternoon walk
a pair of robins
dance by a worm
…
whether we
walk, jog, or run
through a space
are we paying attention
to our surroundings
or are we focused
only in our own worlds
take a walk
When do you take walks?
walking
another chance to
see spring
…
when we’re stressed
take a walk
when we need a break
take a walk
when we’re lost in thought
take a walk
when we need too
bitter then sweet
What do you feel first?
middle of the night
the celebration ends
crickets chirp on
…
or is it that we experience
emotions and events
the other way around
where it starts
with the sweet things
and ends with
bitterness?
hands raised
Are you the cause or effect?
regretful rain
the day we forgot
our umbrella
…
and we proceed
to do the wave
in the stadium
as we become
the watchers that wait
for the starter
to set off a chain reaction
friend to friend
How do you value your relationships?
closing hours
the beach waves
draw closer
…
peer to peer
ally to ally
colleague to colleague
are important
and if we look further
we will find why maintaining
said relationships
are valuable
let it sit
What gets better with time for you?
steeping tea
the bowl becomes
a green pond
…
sometimes
all it takes
is time for us
to find
to remember
to realize
to savor
left in the tank
How much do you have left to give?
blow of the whistle
the dog sees
open field
…
we can only go so far
when we are operating
with only instinct
but when we add
time and experience
we can push
the limits to what
others thought was possible
live or virtual
What experience do you prefer?
the red carpet
an endless ocean
through the screen
…
either way
the events
we end up attending
have one thing
in common
which is we go
for the experience
to the core
At your core, who are you?
hit a wall
leaving behind
the forest
…
eating peaches
or avocados
to even mangos
we will always
find a seed
to plant again
for another day
