It’s Autumn, and from my porch
overlooking a sylvan mountain lake
I see the sun rise over distant rocky peaks...
In the cold dawn and deep stillness
I can hear my thoughts so clearly!

What is the measure of a man?
the question has been asked so many times,
it has a million answers!
But for me, here, in this quiet place,
it means I am what I chose to be,
not what others would have me be.

How much can one choose one’s direction?
Ah well, I can answer that:
by how much one is willing to explore
places shunned by most;
by how much one is willing to take on
– and prove wrong –
the plethora of nay-sayers and gainsayers.

Before I caught on; before
the “normal” label went to the garbage
with the ill-fitting clothes they made me wear;
when I was young and unsure,
I was ashamed of who I was:
for I couldn’t hold down a job,
or live a “normal” life
within the System parameters.

Now a beautiful companion
who accepts me as I am
comes to sit beside me
and share my thoughts:
together we create such poetry
with power to change the world.
