The visionaries so much see
Of how the world will one day be
But tales are told and others read
As our world spins within our head

The truth is that each day we care
Much more for home than anywhere
More of what looms good or bad
Much more for joy than being sad

The world is but a farmer’s field
Just waiting for our crops to yield
Some will plant their seeds of life
While others plant and harvest strife


I see what comes to others time again
But most risks taken are by other men
Most of us are watchers in the game that we do live
With time we all accept and then forgive

Visionaries world does spin
But often we just can’t get in
To find what future does behold
To reach and find the pages that one-day we will unfold

So vision this; tomorrow will be of what I make
That I will have a bearing on which path I come to take
And find the rainbow treasure that is lost to blinded man
Sharing in life’s pleasures and then helping when I can

Life I believe, gives back to the giver...and you Rick...have a very astute middle eye...watch out...your intellect is showing...smiles and hugs...very much enjoyed

I hear thy truths and methinks ye be a visionary thyself!

It forever feeds my soul to read the mots of wisdom that ye impart!

~ May the sun rise up to greet you each dawning day!

there's so much said here.  I'm right with you Rick.  I don't think life is a spectator sport, but it's so easy to let it be.

And so worthwhile to not let it be.
