Ol sitting bull came to me in a dream
He came dressed in white and eyes filled with steam
He gave me five A's to be a better man
Here they are, one through five, write them down if you can...

1. ALWAYS keep both eyes wide open; never ignore what you see
2. ALWAYS keep both ears wide open; never ignore what you hear
3. ALWAYS make sure
4. ALWAYS do what you feel is most important
5. ALWAYS do what you said you were going to do, when you said you were *going to do it, the way you said you were going to do it

Dandelion!

Your seeds, patiently wait
to be scattered to the four winds
Perpetually in a ready position
You sway and double over
when the wind takes ahold of you

Dandelion!

You can grown
just about anywhere
So small, yet your resilience
is down right impressive

I honor you, friend dandelion

Imagine releasing
All your problems
All worries, frustrations

Right now
At this very moment

What does it feel like?

You are enough
When you believe that you are

You are in control here
No one else

NO ONE
remember that

You are enough
When you believe that you are

An ounce of strength
Two table spoons of courage
Three cups of hope
Four pinches of perseverance
And five heaping handfuls of dedication to following your true calling

Stir often
Serve when ready

Stand tall today
As trees do
Be busy with your passion
The frenzy of a couple of bee colonies are perfect examples
Remember to have the kindness & goodwill
Of a young pup, tail wagging, exuding joie de vivre in its purest form
Be nourishing with yourself today
Be patient
Be enduring
Be a friend to the planet
Be helpful, when possible, to your fellow humans
Let your life be your message

I must've been dreaming
I saw everyone getting along,
all people
of all colors
They refered to each as
"brother" and "sister"
I asked about war & world hunger
They had no idea what those words even meant
They lived in giant tree houses
Most had very little possessions

Their wealth was their health
I must've been dreaming

I really wish i could be dreaming now

Glance and advance
See that the world
desperately needs people like you

Bold
Dedicated
Committed to making an impact

To leaving this planet better than you found it

Go now

Godspeed & good luck

Wouldn't it be nice
For once
To entangle yourself in the
Urge to help others?

There's no shortage of souls here
That could use someone like you

I believe therefore I become

Believe then act accordingly

Trembling twisted tyrannical
My senses
Livid like a beehive

Five forlorn fugitives...
take tender and subtle sips of tea...

together they camp, this lone night
stars their only source of luminescence

Forgiveness for their crimes...
are what germinates their brains...

Pray and pray they will....

Grit
Grime
One hell of a time

It's short, our stay
Our numbered days

They flutter...
And suddenly....

Wrinkles!?

Then....****....time to go

So...

Be free, for goodness sakes...
Be you....

It's all that matters....
