I dreamt
You brought me
My favorite
Donuts...
That's all
Good enough

I begin as if
I were ending
Intimacy,
Coffee,
Bacon,
And a little buzz of
Rhythm and blues
While enjoying my
Tennessee moonshine
What greater life
hath no soul than this.

Nothing you can say
Could ever convinced me
Of what you’re
Expressing

I know that man
I know the man too well,

No matter
The level of devastation
He might feel
Or loss that seems
To know no end
Criticism could never
Bring him down

Just like praises
Could never
Elevate him higher
For the value of his worth
Cannot be tied
To how others feel
About him

He finds motivation
within himself
Within his true reality

He knows who he is
He knows he shines bright
Lanterns no longer needed
Nor the beautiful  fire bugs
That he adores daily

Light is within him
He has trade his life
Of shadows for a life
That shines bright


Ever since
He’s been
Burning hotter
Shining brighter
Within his own light

are the strongest muscle one needs to exercise daily in order to

live not only a longer life,

but a better one too!
