Falling   in  love   is
easy. Having ***  is
easier. But bumping
into  someone   that
can spark your soul,
that   ****    is   rare.

I   no   longer   force
things.   What  flows,
flows. What  crashes,
crashes.  I only  have
space and energy for
things that are meant
for me.

Life is not about being
rich,   being    popular,
being  highly educated
or  being   perfect.   It's
about being real, humble,
and kind.                                                            ­            

Respect is for those who
deserve it, not for those
who demand it.

Some  people  say  they
can't see anything good
in  you.  Hug  them and
and  say  life  is difficult
for the blind.                                                                Jon York   2019

Some people hate people of color,
But they love the rainbow,
Depending on the color,
It can sometimes change,
Our demeanor or the way we view
The person, place, or thing,
Like being colorful or pale,
Like feeling neutral or something stale,
Colors make people and things more creative,
In fact, they help to control our mental,
In so many ways,
So, could it be the color of our minds?
Or people who don’t want to understand and see,
That everyone should be treated equally,
No matter what their race may be,
But then again, that's just me....

Here
The stillness
Moves near
Keep it close
Don’t let go
What you’ve
Been searching
For
Doesn’t exist
No one has
Everything
It invades
Present
Happiness
Just throw
Away
Idealistic
Notions
Try to be
Here


Now...

No longer young
They have grayed
Hair thinned
Adult diapers worn
Skin frequently
Pricked by a nurse
With a pin
Wrinkles
Formed roads
He traced
His finger along
One on
Her hand
All the way up to
Her heart
Then back down
To her wedding band
To discover
A faint whisper
Death couldn’t
Sever their love
One so rare
Death couldn’t
Sever their love
