When it’s not right, we see
only what is wrong instead
of trying to make it better.
Look past the faults.
See possibilities.
Keep moving forward.

Look
Mondays are just young Fridays
So, I make mistakes.
An oversight or three, here and there, or an error or lack of judgment can (and will) happen. My lack of foresight simply happens.
We do not learn from our mistakes, but rather we learn from the experience.
You cannot prepare yourself for all probabilities knowing a mistake is a likely possibility.
Pay attention.
Experience comes from noticing what you are paying attention to.

That Moon
Maybe this Moon
with the power it bleeds
will illuminate more
unnecessary violence
and greed.
Maybe this Moon
has memories
it simply cannot forget.
Some of us will relate
while others regret.
Maybe that Moon knows
what it is all worth
and sets an example
for those looking up
from this earth.

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

What Remains

Disarmed by disagreement,
same conversation
over and over
again. Our nature to
seek resolution, even
an aura of understanding,
controls every discussion.
War of words,
repercussions.
Think about and talk it out
until there is little left
to salvage.
What remains
when hope is lost?
Attempts to mend our ways
at all costs. Unnoticed.
There is only
the self to blame,
the one that wavers yet
remains the same.
Unchanged. Unmoved
by even logic.
