Obsessed [Poem]

Obsessed with it all
That’s why I won’t settle

Not until every nook
And every cranny
Of every day

Is composed of moments
I can’t wait to recall

Blades of Grass [Poem]

A tall blade of grass
Looks down upon
A sea of green blades

Some bigger
Some thinner
Some pointed
Some flat
Some darker
Some lighter

What a shame
That in a sea of green
That’s what is seen

Keeping Score [Poem]

Their success
Isn’t your loss

Their beauty
Isn’t your flaw

Their knowledge
Isn’t your ignorance

Their profit
Isn’t your business

Stop using them
To benchmark yours

Live and let live
And stop keeping score

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
