Look up in the sky and
You will see the contrail
Of a high-flying jet. It
Could be a military
Aircraft or a commercial
Airliner. They fly so high
You can’t hear them, and
The view from that high
Is breathtaking. Flying
Over the clouds is an
Experience that is
Unforgettable.
I love the sea at night.
It is darkness transformed
Into into a mysterious liquid.
The moonlight sparkles
On the waves and is hypnotic
To look at. It occurs to a
Person that the sea is where
We came from.
When we were teenagers
It was a custom to go to
Some abandoned property
Where there was a well.
We would drop a coin in
And make a wish. The
Funny thing was you
Wouldn’t hear the coin
Hit the bottom. Once
Someone thought they
Heard a voice deep
Down in the well
Saying help me, help
Me. A professional at
Rescuing people in
These situations threw
A rope over the side
And went down. He
Was never seen again.
The weekend is a time to
Unwind from the stresses
And strains of the week
And do the things you
Want to do. You can be
Yourself, sleep late and
Not do anything if you
Want to. The weekend
Is your time. If work
Calls, let it go to
Voicemail.
To accomplish anything in
Life it takes enthusiasm,
Drive or passion. All great
Things people have done
For the betterment of
Humanity have been done
By lone individuals who
Burned the midnight oil
Until they achieved the
Breakthrough that gave
Humanity a great gift.
Happiness soars like
The wind blows the
Hair of people. Flags
Flap vigorously in
The town square
For all to look at
While holding on
To their hats. They
Are happy.
A person enters a forest
To lose his mind and find
His inner self. After all,
We came from the forest
And our soul came from
The stars.
Doesn’t that man
On the horse holding
The sword up in the
Air ever get tired of
Holding it up?
In our lives we are
Making decisions
Every day. There’s
One kind of decision
That we make based
On preference. It’s
An I’d rather this or
That based purely
On the person’s
Preference.
Occasions in life are
Said to be charmed
When they have that
Quality of happiness
And magic and cast
A spell on the person
Receiving the charm.
