Wildflower Philosophy...

in the adventure known as life
some live through the stories
they read in an old armchair 
while others live their life
to give the people in that seat 
an adventure to live through
so make sure that story is about you

Triumphant and profound. You have the thoughts of a wise soul mr Luke...and the poet inside seems to remedy your thoughts. I am in awe of your placidity towards life and its offerings...you wrote to make sure the story is about you and indeed you do.Yep!...it's a favorite for me. (but I won't rest until I ask if the second to last line is supposed to read...to live th"r"ough. I think its a typo but you wrote though) ...though you may have wanted to write it, I'm not sure? Let me know K?:)

Good advice, Luke. We share our own stories through poetry, and we must remain true to ourselves. The "wildflower" has a great philosophy by which to bloom! Love, Carolyn
