Do that which makes you think,
that which makes you wonder.
Do that which makes you breathe,
that which makes you feel.
Do that which makes you happy,
Do that.
Do that often.

cloud songs
The night
accepts the silence,
appreciates
the soft, steady breath
of lovers
and dogs.New Moon
shows as no moon can.
High resolution
darkness softening
hard edges
and difficult lives.Here we are,
part of the silence,
immune to
time and temperature,
and words
once spoken.© 2017 j.g. lewis

put to use
It’s not what you have;
it’s what you have with you.
You may own several umbrellas,
but unless you have one handy
when it rains, none of them are
useful.
Your degree(s), that camera, the
skills you have developed over
the years, are things you possess,
but unless they are put to use
they do not serve your current
purpose.
Some of us travel lightly through
this life, taking only what is
believed to be needed at the time.
Others are better prepared for
whatever they encounter.
Only you can decide to use what
you have, or use what you can.© 2018 j.g. lewis

in simpler form
I could write about
my buoyant mood
or fluctuating state
of optimism. My
will and my wishes
could easily show a
plan or a goal, or
even inner vision.
Yesterday’s gentle
memories or today’s
unattributed sense
of satisfaction, are
considerable enough
to allow the pencil
some action. I could
think of those things,
and cherish them all,
but in simpler form
a flower says it all.© 2016 j.g. lewis

if you look
Information

obvious or apparentbut available
if you lookclosely
between the lines

somethingimportant or otherwise
Information is like that
