gravitational pull
Are you attracting problems or solutions?
looking up
watching planes fly
in cotton candy skies
…
there’s no way
around it
we have to deal
with it
and learn from it
to get to where
we’re trying to go
makin' a fuss
Whats gotten you in a bad mood?
toddler screams
at the sky
for his balloon
…
we can scream
we can grovel
we can stomp
we can pound
we can cry about it
but these are not
the signs to lean on
volunteers needed
What causes resonate with you?
shoveling dirt
a new mound for ants
a path for people
…
get out there
do something
that gives us
a spark to ignite
a passion for giving
because doing good
has no bounds
beginners luck
Are you lucky?
roll the dice
the fate of kings
is decided
…
the first time
may be just that
but what about
the second time
the third time
or the fourth time
it happens again?
knee jerk reaction
What are you reacting to?
emails left
unread until
tomorrow
…
while automatic
and involuntary
due to an outside
force or stimulus
will tell a lot
about what can
and will impact us
investing in
What is worth your time?
crumpled napkin
the white creases make
mountain ranges
…
our imagination
our ideas
our inspirations
may very well
be the move
that separates us
from artificial intelligence
stitch and patch
Are you discarding things too quickly these days?
dirty heel
sock with a hole
sees the world
…
just maybe
we’ve become
too accustomed
to throwing things
away before
we realize that they
could’ve been salvage
count to ten
Where is your focus going towards?
glass vials
a sea of red
fills the room
…
more often
than not
if we focus
our minds on something
the more we
will think less
of something else
runnin'-out
Are you ahead or behind on your projects?
cutting onions
another mountain
surfaces
…
of time
is only one
part of
the equation
when we have
so much
to do
reflection
What does your reflection show you?
trophy
shinning with
fingerprints
…
to look
at ourselves
is to look at
not only
what is shown
on the outside
but the inside
picky picky
Are you a picky eater?
cooked broccoli
the forest steams
after rain showers
…
sometimes
the things
we grew up
not liking
will slowly
grow on us
to try again
weather the storm
Are you standing tall?
twirling
a pile of leaves
meets fallen snow
…
the leaves
may fly away
the branches
may sway
and yet
our tree
still stands
