I’d rather write, even when I don’t have anything to say,
than to care for the mundane at hand. Yet, if I should set my ego aside and ponder my words, I would surely realize that the mundane, then, is what I add to the lives of my readers...should there be any.

Do you read me?
How do you read me?
Do you find me self-involved
or reaching?
Do you find me narcissistic
or caring?
What are you wearing; am I wearing on you
or messing your shoe?

Do your eyes seek a compromise,
or do you simply improvise
the words I say in an attempt at wise.
Or should I salt it lightly
as sage should be added; better
as a flavor to savor
than one that favors
the overpowering akin to
a Prima Dona’s whim
of highs and lows
above/below
the melody at hand.

Again the Hatter’s niece
seems to have a piece
of my mind that I
should not
have dared to share
for it is much too spare
to parcel out
one iota. Better check with
Yoda.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.
