INSIDE OF ME

Inside of me 
   I've never been,
   For this I fear.
   I do not know,
   I am scared. 
   I cannot tell whether
There will be Light,
   To quell the fright.
                           

                             To quell the fright.
                                 There will be Light,
                             I cannot tell whether
                             I am scared. 
                             I do not know,
                             For this I fear,
                             I've never been
                                Inside of me


(Writers tend to set the frightful and terrifying scenes in darkness, devoid of light.  People's fear often intensify in this absence of true Light.  Often people say the only thing to fear is fear itself. This work presents the notion that true fear may be that which is within oneself, in not knowing oneself.  Being content involves knowing oneself inside and out!)

Work Place Rodeo

The boss must be professional, respectful and accountable. 

No! The truth is 

    The boss can do whatever he pleases --

The work place cannot tolerate an attitude where 

     Respect is to be earned.

Instead 

     There seems to be power that's possessed and lauded over one another where

No longer 

     Considered as a capable human being

You'll be

     singled out and isolated. 

You will not be 

     feeling safe;

Because you're practicing the Golden Rule...

(Don't forget to read it in reverse, line by line.) 

The forward read is just a temporary manifestation of someone given authority without respecting or perhaps realizing the associated responsibility; the reverse read it the true reality that will emerge.     Bring on the rodeo, cowboy! -- I'm ready! 

"I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength 

to persevere and endure in spite of 

overwhelming obstacles." 

- Christopher Reeve

The work of ordinary individuals survive through it all and leave a mark not in time but deep in the hearts and souls to be passed on to those that they've encountered, when one passes on. 
                                               . . . just writing one word at a time.  

Six to Eight 

   Cups of Tea

Tea is steeped in tradition,

  with predictive capabilities 

   revealed in the personalized, patterned leaves 

   that are left behind. 

Just a philosophical thought  --- to motivate and inspire.

Once upon a time. . .
     Who will believe that it ends with
     A love so true that triumphs!
     Even over a finale called death,
Is this the happily ever after ending?

                                   Is this the happily ever after ending?
                                        Even over a finale called death,
                                        A love so true that triumphs!
                                        Who will believe that it ends with
                                   Once upon a time . . .
