Advice#4 - worry

Don't worry about the future...
Prepare for it...

Whatever hinders your task...
Is your task.
.
.success, answers, peace,love...
Where does your compose point?

First

Everyone wants "credit" 
for saying "it" first
doing it first
inventing, arriving, leaving, creating, solving
suffering...
asking first....
Right or wrong...immaterial to the primal drive
to be the one ahead of the herd to run head "first" into the fray... 


Who would be silent first?
Still...
Would you be the quiet witness,
the halcyon participant, 
growing in the ageless moments twixt action and thought?

Festering Earwigs (2013 re-write)

Ideas germinate,

Stories permeate,

and gossip infests communal "reality"

before intended victims can conceive of

the need for a defense...

while Integrity is a beggar made at the Libeler’s banquet.

Night's Companion

Loneliness and disappointment companions constant and true; 

held in their sticky embrace, warm and comforted in their familiarity, while despairing over corporeal promises and intents.

Forgotten by gods, dismissed by fate, ignored by muses, bastardized by man; living outside the laws of nature, what more have we a right to expect?
