Inner Roadway [Poem]

Understand who you are
By writing down
Everything you are not
And never want to be

Let each list item
Act as a guardrail
That turns vast landscape
Into paved and pointed roadway

Seed Planter [Poem]

I am forever
A seed planter
Burying potential
in the endless mud
Of our collective mind

Some will grow
Many will die
What comes to be
Isn’t for me
to judge or define

I am not sun
I am not nutrients
I am not water
I am forever
a seed planter

What’s planted
In the mud
Of your mind
Is for the elements
Of your life

To nurture or decline

Act Your Age [Poem]

The spirit has no age
And yet is shackled
To the age we tell it to act

From the people who tell it to us
From the people who told it to them
From the people who made it up

The spirit has no age
Let it roam free
To be as it may—

Age-free and un-trapped.
