Planning Better
The goal line is high,
and it will take most of my life,
to climb to the top.
That is okay,
as an objective needs to be tall enough,
to challenge self, daily...
on the road to a life worth living.
Put your mind on what matters.
Stay to the course,
walk the line.
Time, is running...
out.
A clock on the wall,
the one in the hall,
by the watch the phone
the ticket...
punched out, hit in the face,
but most of all traveled.
Your life in a circle,
that needs to be enlarged,
by stretching the radius...
to its limit.
Then letting go.
A new decade,
leaving the teens behind.
Now we are grown up,
and need to clean the planet,
fight for peace,
demand tolerance...
and know that free will,
is a gift of choice.
Soon all will find a reason to kneel,
to one god or another,
but the truth will shine,
high above the rest.
Brighter than the sun,
"He" will come!
It is written in the book,
It is seen on the land.
It is felt in every heart,
those that accept,
and even those that do not.
Many that fought for darkness,
will be brittle in the shine,
of all things reflective,
of our past, present, and future...
forever.
