Short Trailblazers Poems

Balances of parallels
Cryptic speeches of silence
Tolerance talent forgiveness knots
Where are the trailblazers now but they cannot walk

Colors blended now and mixed
High-minded hatred apocalyptic
Hatred grows in mynute places
Where are those soothsayers not if they can't talk

The island of the rising sun
The land were work is fun
With tireless proletarians
And boundless trailblazers 
Land where days and hours clock first
Where it is already tomorrow when our sun sets
At the edge of the world 
With a new age for the world 
They break paths for us to maintain
The earth cracks but they build again
Lights never dim in Nihon
Nihon always lives on...

Gave Thanks

Passed a cemetery today
gave thanks
for all who broke trails
we now look back upon.

Passed a playground today
gave thanks
for a future as yet untouched
by  …. us.

Passed a school today
gave thanks
for the opportunity
afforded these “trailblazers”.

Passed a mirror today
gave thanks
for the playground, the school,
the cemetery.

Rare are those among us 
who gain wisdom 
without errors,

without overstepping a line 
we are not allowed 
to go beyond,

without daring to be different
from what we are
supposed be.

Yet, they're the ones who do 
the perilous trailblazing 
for all of us,

who map out the constraints 
that we can outgrow and 
must overcome,

who, in the frenzy of finding out 
what's beyond, must draw 
the first blood!...

Trailblazers and bellwethers 
who conduct with dignity
are these noble maestros
who shepherd people.
Honorable and selfless
luminaries are these bold 
inspirers of confidence. 
Captains of courage 
who lead by example.
Directors who orchestrate,
motivate, excite and
spark others to follow.
Emanate role models
of noteworthy distinction.
These are leaders, 
champions of the best
who are as rare 
as they are great....
