What Drives Me Still

The light through My Grandmother’s Bedroom window Called out to me ‘Calls out to me’ Leading me to places Where I had to go Revisiting me now In my twilight years ‘In my twilight years’ Reminding me again Of those places I’ve been And my reasons for going As the mileposts shone ‘And the mileposts shine’ Reaching into the distance Where the horizon pulled And the dawn arrived In what drove me once ‘In what drives me still’ (Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2014) Obsessio The past faded as ideas came alive Destroying with every thought the status… —of the status quo (Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017) Two Thoughts- 10/9/2018 Vindicta The ends justify the means —when the means entail revenge (Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2014) Sum = Zero Totality expanded The sum is now zero Risk and certitude —one and the same (Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2014)
