Something New
​

At daybreak
The sun rises
High in the sky
And even as time passes by
It is ok to try
To create something new
By being someone new
And begin anew

​

​Expecting

Expecting via great expectations
Upholding high values
Sometimes unrealistic
Pressure could push
Yet when push comes to shove
Expecting pure love
And reverence
Is the greatest expectation

​

Suite
​

Grandiose grandeur
California Plaza
Saccharine sweetness
Relish the pleasure
Of pure enjoyment
And have
A Room of One’s Own
To enjoy one’s place
In a whole new world

​

Dig Deeply
​

Uncover what is beneath
(but seek truth cautiously)
For reality is subjective
And sometimes coal
could just be diamonds in the rough

​

​Hold Fast

Keep holding on
But not too fast
For patience is virtuous
And this moment
Is not the last
And the best
Present
Moment
In Time
For all Time
