YOUR MISSION

Author's Notes/Comments: 

YOUR MISSION IF YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT IS TO PRAY FOR DIVINE INTERVENTION. MISSION IMPOSSIBLE...I THINK NOT...TRY IT...YOU'LL LIKE IT...THERE IS A WAY OUT OF THIS MESS AND WE WILL FIND IT TOGETHER. FOCUS ON GOOD AND POSITIVE THINGS THAT ARE POSSIBLE. BELIEVE THEY WILL COME TO PASS. MANIFEST LOVE AND PEACE FOR THE GREATER GOOD. HANG ONTO YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS. NEVER GIVE UP. SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND. LOOK FOR INSPIRATION EVERYDAY AND SHARE IT...ALWAYS LET YOUR CONSCIENCE BE YOUR GUIDE.

SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY THERE

Author's Notes/Comments: 

IF YOU HAVE EVER FELT LIKE YOU ARE ON AUTO PILOT THEN YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN...IF NOT THEN I GUESS THAT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE...YOU JUST WRITE IT DOWN AS IT COMES FROM YOU KNOW NOT WHERE BUT YOU JUST DON'T CARE...I AM PRETTY SURE ALL OR MOST POETRY COMES THAT WAY ON AUTO PILOT...AT LEAST THAT IS MY EXPERIENCE OF IT...THE TRICK IS TO BE ABLE TO WRITE IT DOWN FAST ENOUGH BEFORE YOU LOSE IT...IT CAN BE VERY ELUSIVE AND EXCLUSIVE...IF YOU LOSE IT...IT'S GONE FOREVER OR SO IT SEEMS...

LOST IN THOUGHT

Author's Notes/Comments:

A CAUTIONARY TALE

Author's Notes/Comments: 

THE TRUTH IS IT'S HARD TO KNOW WHO TO TRUST. ALWAYS ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION AND LISTEN TO YOUR INTUITION. IF SOMETHING DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT QUESTION IT... TRUST YOURSELF. TRUST YOUR INTUITION.

DROWNING IN A SEA OF THOUGHT WAVES

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I WAS WATCHING A PINK CONCERT VIDEO AND THERE WAS A LINE ABOUT TAKING A LONG WALK ON A SHORT PIER AND THINKING OF THAT FAMILIAR PHRASE THIS POEM SLOWLY CAME AND DIDN'T WANT TO END...MUCH LONGER THAN USUAL STUFF...THEY ALL HAVE A LIFE OF THEIR OWN...I JUST LET THEM BE WHAT THEY WANT TO BE...NOT UP TO ME...
