As an intelligent, compassionate person I cover all the bases of the perceived truths— Before I discover my reality without bias of mind or heart but within my soul— Then, I can begin an argument —open for discussion for covering all our bases— with the illusions of what we have seen.
i have sifted through sand
tripped on stones
slipped on pine needles
have lost my balance on occasion
a few times— falling
—but never has my path
been more appealing
than the steps before
i am who I’ve been
I certainly am not
who I was— as dust in the wind
as scent in the pines
as tomorrow is in each day
as yesterday—
is unable to hold time.
