So how does one define ones'self, what measure of a man
determines worth when here on Earth so little goes to plan ?
In contrast to a work-place stark, resounds the call of meadowlark
to once again ignite that spark imagination seeks to fan .

Replaced are bills with rolling hills in ev'ry subtle shade of green .
As tasks performed a thunderstorm comingles with a mountain stream .
A pace is set, a quota met, as sunlight filters through the clouds
this drone who serves works' metronome finds solace in what he's allowed .

The measure of a man I'd say by work alone one cannot quoth,
and as for worth, I plan to stay, a doer and a dreamer both .

What a brilliant poem, and so true. I'm with you Doc, a doer and a dreamer. There's room to be both in this life

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Doc
Tracey ,
Thank you . Balance in all things , not easy to achieve, yet, perhaps imbalance is a necessary part of the creative process ?

To be a doer and a dreamer...a thought to hold onto each day. Well done, Doc.

Hear! Hear! As those rock n' rollers Areosmith sang "Dream On"... just don't let them catch you daydreaming at work. Peace, Doc.
