a light in the dark is a point to focus on amidst the unknown
branches of a tree break under stress, so the trunk can remain standing
there are no shortcuts when it comes to opening combination locks
when a door is closed . all too often we assume . it is also locked
no one would confuse . a lemon and banana . though both are yellow
in old ideas . there are possibilities . to build on today
we are conditioned . to choose the sugar, over . something of substance
the lone sentinel . silently watching, we pay . no attention to
what we imagine . is personal and often . non transferable
between now and then so many new leaves have turned and melted away
