Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda

Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda...

Why must my focus be on yesterday;
shouldn’t it be on here and now?
Tomorrow is a date; not yet in play;
for, only today, can I take a bow.

Yesterday is long gone; forever passed;

memories of failure aren’

Slavery Of Thought

Slavery Of Thought

Thought’s the foundation for everything;
not ever meant to be deemed restricted;
thoughts controlled; will slavery bring;
any offenders, would be convicted.

Unrestrained thoughts are required;
for one to actually be free;

Seeds Of Thought

Seeds Of Thought

We think thoughts are basically organic;

destined to become a beautiful rose;
the Master provided for its every

The Glass Filled With Life

The Glass Filled With Life

There’re those who say their glass is half full;
saying it, quite proudly; you can tell;
much of their eyes are covered with wool;
by definition; it’s half empty, as well.

Our gift called life; a glass of champagne;
a blessing so far
