day NINETEEN

IF I COULD

If I could
I would raise
all the enlightened ones
all the forgotten ones

All the saints
the martyrs
the teachers
all the innocents

If I could
I would soar with the eagles
and live in the trees
forget
all the poverty
and sickness
and
pass judgement
on no one

If I could

day EIGHTEEN



Endings are beginnings with their hats on backwards. Back into them, if you like, or embrace them; for life's a moving path and you're on it. It's a choice: look forward or backward; ponder the future or dwell in the past; or live for tomorrow, in the moment, today, right now.
