The Poet Enters

I will always make an effort to become a better human; I am just concerned that I am the only one, at least locally.

When I awaken to the day, I meditate on my purpose and meaning in the world I have constructed. Reflecting on all the toils, friendships, conflicts, and trials made and lost, I ponder if any of my actions were well conducted.

Just as the sun fought to retain the sky, I fought to retain your companionship.

If people were to see you for who you truly are, would they be comforted or confounded?

Seeking closeness, I pull you near and hold you in my arms, Surrounded by your glow, I have no defense against your charms.

We say many things, and over time, we may even believe them; however, our place in people's lives and our actions say everything that counts.

We never know what the future holds. However, the more positive plans and actions we create, the more favorable outcomes will occur. Bad things may still happen, but maybe all that positive energy will provide a buffer.

Celebrations are always better when shared with friends and beloveds; the closer the relationships, the greater the celebration.
