We don’t all move in the
same direction, but each
of us wants to get ahead.
Our pace differs, as does
our attitude, as we all try
to step forward.
Do you know where you
are going? How will you
know when you get there?

Some words arrive
too quickly, and you struggle
to keep up, to write them down.
Or remember; thoughts you
can’t hold back, these thoughts
you cannot take away.
Not all pencils need erasers.
Not all mistakes can be erased.
Still we write, and still we try
to express, to love, to believe
and communicate.

Curiosity inspires.
Visions flash,
sounds sparkle, ignite,
spontaneously combust.
Imagination on impulse,
intuition essential.
My attention is fleeting, but
can be held indefinitely
by shiny objects
and opportunity.
Big thoughts or simple wishes.
As a child
they called me
a daydreamer
like it was a bad thing.
