Just do it

If you need to pursue it
And it’s worthy and right,
Go on and do it,
Give up the fight.
If it’s driving you nuts,
Take on the dare
To get out of the ruts
That are going nowhere.
Oil in a cruet
And vinegar seeps
Onto a salad
Where flavor reaps
Pleasure to palate
And satisfied taste.
On Blueprints today,
Tomorrow is traced.

Dear Barb,

as always, I find great wisdom in your short and sweet renditions.. I don't understand this though:

Oil in a cruet
And vinegar seeps
Onto a salad
Where flavor reaps
Pleasure to palate
And satisfied taste.
On Blueprints today,
Tomorrow is traced.

could you explain the imagery?

I really like this anyway

Love

Thanks for you nice comments, Michelle.
I meant it as satisifaction that comes from fulfilled desire.
Love, Barb
