Readjust

You can't hide here and you can't hide there,
cause' life will find you everywhere.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
take a deep breath and readjust.

It's not all good and it's not about bad.
So don't get sad and don't get mad.
Over the river and into the trees;
if you want some honey, follow the bees.

Throw the dice and flap your wings
lest you miss some very cool things.
Use your wits and take some care,
be the tortoise and the hare.

You have the cards so play your hand.
Build some castles in the sand.
It's what you think that makes you you.
Above all else, to yourself be true.

A Momentary Vision

I saw a pregnant lady
smiling widely at a baby
that was not hers.
It was just a brief encounter,
a momentary vision amidst
the great panoply of time.
Though I had seen it all before
this gave me so much more.
It was a dazzling expression
of something quite sublime.
