I sing the praises of SteriliteI sing the praises of Sterilite
(even Mary Poppins would tout
a plug for said company she would spout
forcing playthings scattered helter skelter
retreating into their respective bins
analogous to a defeated army
beating a hasty retreat after a major rout
against all odds fighting off
the aggressive incursion
of a trumpeting lout,
which troops use weapon of choice
namely breath issuing "Kraut"
which in German,...

The Journey In Me
I stand with the world in my hands,
Not because I own it,
But because I believe
A better world begins with me.
One step, I walk a quiet road,
Learning life, one lesson at a time.
Another step, I climb a hill,
Chasing dreams that feel too high.
Behind me is the man I was,
Before me is the man I will be.
In...

Falling Leaves, Fading ChaptersI watched a leaf release its breath,
A golden sigh upon the air.
It tumbled softly into death,
A quiet dance without despair.
The wind, a gentle funeral song,
Caressed it with a lover’s grace.
It drifted, weightless, swept along,
No bitterness upon its face.
I thought of all I’ve had to leave,
The hands, the homes, the hollow years.
I thought of how we...

Be Your Own Life DJYou built the skills, you have done the work,
Faced every challenge, adjusted to every quirk.
Now comes the fork in the road of life that is yours to face
Grab the microphone of life with a warm embrace
A DJ doesn’t follow sound,
They craft the moment, feel the ground.
They blend the old with the new, create the...

A Writer's ReachThe pale blue lines on which I write
stretch to infinity,
and hint of a distant, misty line
where heaven touches sea.
The reach of sight, the eye's extreme,
as far as the mind can go,
is but a candle in the sun
of all the heart may know.
A writer's reach must far exceed...

Born to Rise"Blackbird"
You cannot cage what's born to rise,
she blazed beyond their brittle lies.
They named her ash, they named her end,
but fire learns how not to bend.
Her silence cracked the sky in two,
she flew where only lightning flew,
They heard her cry, not weak–but wise–
a battle hymn of "Blackbird" skies....

Untitled 3You are great
Don't you dare deny that
Look how the sun smiles when you wake up
Look how the moon shadows your every moment
Don't be skeptical
Made for Heaven
Designed with imperfections
Present the world with a new canvas
Attain the Armor of God

In A BoxYou put me in a box—
'Cause that’s what makes you comfortable.
You put me in a box—
'Cause that’s what makes you strong.
You put me in a box
And tell me
That’s where I belong.
You put me in a box
To keep me
Contained.
Controlled.
You put me in a box
To strip away my soul.
You put me in a box
And seal it up...

The Chance You GetTake that chance every chance you get,
fall on your face and then forget,
live your life without regret,
take that chance every chance you get.
More risk by far to never make the run,
and lose your dreams one by one,
and forgetting each until you’re done.
Rather rise and embrace each day,
another step on your chosen way,
there’s no better time...
