You read books and take advice On what you should do in life Only thing you need to know Is what makes your passions grow

Embrace the darkness It’s the only way That your light can shine

Mom and Dad don’t love you They’re already tuned To their own sweet song Fireflies in June You are just an extra

Each moment at hand Is open invitation To the promised land

I don’t see into future I don’t remember past I only know this present A gift, that too, shall pass

I’m in the darkness You can’t intervene It’s just what I need For light to shine clean

It’s quite a process To create a person

I like to watch... an ant traverse a grass forest a flower unfurl in moonlight a muskrat reap trifolium a leaf quiver in mid-day breeze

Jeffrey is my friend Until it’s the end Always gonna be There if he needs me

Life after age eight Put downs and berates People don’t like you When they look like fools

Rain, rain wash away All the stains of yesterday Here I stand, made of clay Mold me into my today

To see the best of me Play a symphony That moves my feet

Ever been great at Balance? Then you understand Why I tip my scales.

The journey is far, you guess And possibly arduous You just couldn’t care less ‘Cause the prize is worth the test

Working towards Common goals
