Empowered am I
Change of ideals
Knots to untie
The positive reveals
So much to do
No time to waste
Create an opus too
No cut and paste
I read and digest
Then spell out
A hypotesis to test
The title to shout
Will they read?
The ideas, new
A hybrid seed
For only a few
Let's start at home
Follow me, please
The rest can roam
Late, sagacity, seize
Deep roots hold the tree,
Branches reach for endless sky,
Fruit falls, knowing earth.

Spiritual journey is a pilgrimage to piety
from vice to virtue toward divine consciousness,
attained by sagacious introspection.

Darkness, the beginning path
spawns brightness at the end
Storm clouds over a troubled youth
division on the mend
Struggles, trials, and failures past
just fuel to keep you warm
Sagacity, the final truth
—eyes seeing through the harm
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)

"The trick, Bill Potter ...
"Is not MINDING that it hurts."
A shade of my grey.
Darkness,
the beginning path
Burns brightest
at the end
Storm clouds
over a troubled youth
Success now on
the mend
Struggles, trials,
and failures past
Just fuel,
to keep you warm
Sagacity,
the final truth
Eyes seeing past
the harm
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
Sagacity
Pulled from the beating heart
This quick agony
Spells
For what wrong thought to be
Became so easily
Right
So right the languid exponent
Of ready truth
Knew
With the arrogance of comprehension
Gave its struggle
Righteousness
And in the pity of hindsight
Woke consciousness to
Regret
For what right thought to be
Became so easily
Wrong
