Listen to poem:
let me pause
slow down a minute
and look inward
to adjust my lens
there’s more to life than
operating in react mode
let me pause to ask
the real question
the why is so much more
revealing than the what
let me break the cycle
and if need be, like a rookie
put training wheels back on my bike
refuse to live on automatic pilot
I’m more than the sum of my parts
similar to the iceberg with
most of me under my surface
always more to me that meets the eye
I am more than an organism
with likes and dislikes
more than a machine
with on and off switches
I’m comparable to
a complex equalizer
filtering and remastering
random captured signals
I’m the maestro of my life
creator of my realm
master of my domain
I am simply more
I am so much more
all for asking the real question
the why is always so much more
revealing than the what
