as life’s metaphora fake chimp in a fake cageis a bit spot on
each drop of waterbegan today not knowingof the waterfall
some wait patientlyfor it to be the right timebefore jumping in
there is a momentwhen the flowers first openwhen the world feels new
the calmest watersare shallow lakes, unableto kick up a fuss
we shine our own lightso that others will noticethe beauty we see
we take for grantedthat which makes life possibleuntil we need it
there are solutionsto problems we didn’t knoweven existed
not far off the pathwe walk each day, there’s a placewhere time seems to stop
something poorly doneis something we should nevertake seriously
