Revised to: “Forward 1-10″ thanks to Old Egg, who contributed the new final line

 

Go
forward
lest you find
you’re left behind
because not going
is the same as choosing
to fall back, lose ground, decline
Evolve. Devolve. Seems you have a choice.
“There you go, you are a success aren’t you?”
*inspired by Sunday Scribblings ~ Forward

dreams
incite change
propeling altered paradigms

~ July 29, 2011 ~ Small Stone ~

In the early morning
as most the world yet sleeps
the vital
stands at the forefront
validates importance
dares
to kiss the day into motion.
Take heed.

~ July 24, 2011 ~ Small Stone ~






a tanka, cousin to haiku…


Plant well-chosen seeds


to alter society.


Respect, accept, love.


Nurtured fruits will bloom and grow.


Reap and share. Enjoy. Resow.

Look upon the pleated, ne’er depleted, green fan palm.


Consider this:


It never gives a thought


To folds or wrinkles,


Dusts of gray.


It always heeds to breezes


Throws it’s arms back


Starts to sway.


I’m thinking we have a lot to learn.


Next?


Ponder the fern…
