Wishing well stimulant…
Throwing a coin into life’s experience
Becomes the transformation…
Making a wish…
Regardless of olden times
We think differently now, then we did then
Somehow we always do (Wink)
But laughed instead, at our parents…
Who now has the last laugh?
As so to, will our children do…
And do forth and so on…down through time

Finding what was always meant to live
Loosing the negative…
Punish not…or be punished
No pain equals emptiness, rejection
Throw coins in someone else’s well
Just for the change of things
Or the disappointment that retaliation brings
Poisons all the land around us…including our loved ones

Self-pity sees nothing but denials
Hurting someone else, breaks our own karma
And contaminates all that is us…
Makes our path much longer and harder
Lest we act out like a disgruntled child

Our atmosphere becomes what we believe it to be
I throw a coin in the well
Wishing for mankind to somehow live harmoniously
Fantasy?Perhaps, but, there’s always that chance
That one wish granted…
If everyone else is happy, then I’m ecstatic to!
So, that’s a wish I’ll not give up on
Even after I’m gone…
Call me…childish…irresponsible, or
Whatever you like...
It's 8:30 a.m. and I've gotta accomplish something
Today's smiling....tapping it's feet, looking at it's watch and

Just waiting for me...

about seize the day?

I say squeeze it
til night runs out

and makes sleepy pools
of moonlight at the end
