Be indecisive,
Sit back and contemplate life,
Stuck at home anyway.

Wander off the path,
Explore the regions beyond,

Calm Before the Storm

On the surface,
I'm tranquil
Like calm seas,
A whisper of wind
Along my shores

Beneath the surface,
I'm raging
Like a hurricane,
Gale after gale
Churns my storm.

Cast no stone
But in the water,
See the ripples
Across the surface,

This is life.

In Bloom

Outside my front door is a flower in bloom,
beyond bloom really,
the other side of middle age,
past prime,
slightly withered,
soon to be replaced by youth,
a new bloom,
a bright and vibrant bloom.

Experience is a teacher of life
providing answers to the mistakes,
solutions to songs breaking hearts,
truths shattering darkness in doubts
beating confidence to shamefulness
when there’s failure to grasp subject matter
through closed eyes and a closed mind.

Experience is a good teacher
tapping a desk to wake you
from a heavy sleep, a burden,
Encouraging focus, eyes forward,
Preparing for the next test.

Live And Give

Touch what needs healing.
Hold what has meaning.

Listen to a cry for help.
Speak only of experience.

Follow the trail of poverty.
Lead on a path to nourishment.

Read to gain knowledge.
Write to give inspiration.

Live on the edge of existence.
Love to fuel an eternal flame.

Before the simple life,
There’s a job hunt
And a mate search,
Entry level wages,
Relationship development,
Career choices,
Wedding planning,
Children,
A mortgage
And school selection,
Coaching,
A seven-year itch,
And marriage counseling,
College searches,
Aging parents,
And retirement planning.

A Florida condo,
Blue skies,
White sand,
Senior yoga,
Memoir writing,
And peaceful reflection.

Limpid life.
