Ideal
With a shy confession, I must admit
sometimes, I dream of perfection
where the road ahead is one of silk
and balance has no objection
Where answers dangle from the trees
as butterflies gently pass by
and happiness bounces, abundantly
as high as the big blue sky
However, perfection would prevent us
from growing through the strife
and maybe being grateful
wouldn’t live in our life
So our heartbeats set the cadence
as we march with steps of brave
We find good in the clouds
as the road ahead we pave

If You Believe
Don’t you wish that you could fly
above the clouds in the clear blue sky,
soaring with the angels near,
erasing all your worries and fear?
Wouldn’t it be amazing to swim
in the turquoise ocean just on a whim,
gliding with a friendly dolphin,
serenaded by an elegant violin?
Imagine skipping through a lush meadow
with the company of a vibrant butterfly show
or tip toeing amongst the glowing stars
to the music of strumming guitars
Close your eyes, twinkle your nose
Cross your arms, curl your toes
Blink three times, twirl around
Concentrate; okay, here goes…

Momentarily
While walking down the street,
I couldn’t help but feel peace,
listening to the rustling leaves
without the company of cars.
Then something pungent struck me,
so tangible, I could reach out
and touch…the fragrance of wealth,
and for a fleeting moment,
eyes slowly blinking,
I felt a sense of yearning.
Perhaps, there are those moments
where wishes aren’t so Heavenly,
but very earthly, indeed.
However, the hunger subsided
as rapidly as it came to be
and I sighed, contentedly,
knowing God has provided me
with everything I truly need

OBSERVATION
The wind blows
around the corner
touching the man’s brow
His suit pressed to perfection
He smoothly slides into his posh car
and drives away
The bird’s cheerful song
complements the woman’s aura
as she busily chats on her cell phone
Her pencil skirt fits snugly
while she confidently hails a taxi
Across the street
Staying warm with his
old, worn beanie
and thin, weathered coat
huddled against the cold
brick wall,
He watches
and wishes
