Free Will


we live in a world
that chains us
with fears, and
traps us in a race
we think we have not
made the choice, and
that it is preordained
a fate we are born with
but this is untrue
because it is
we who have
made that choice
to be infringed upon
to be tossed, turned
hassled and wired
yielding to the perils
of endless expectations
doing things which we
really do not understand
achieving a myriad
of unwanted goals
at the expense
of burning our souls

in a twilight revelation
of the glorious light
I decided freedom
it shall be for
the rest of my life
I choose the unbidden
I choose serendipity
I choose FREE WILL
I choose to be ME!

Joy

We often lament about
what life does not offer us
but in reality
it is we
who do not appreciate
the little joys
that forever lasts!

life has so many things
to be grateful for ~
the joy of breathing
the joy of seeing
the joy of smelling
the joy of hearing
the joy of feeling
the joy of loving
the joy of caring
the joy of giving
the joy of living
as nature's
most wonderful, and
powerful being!
