The company you keep,” or
“Birds of a feather flock together”

How Many Roads?
How many roads have you trod
In those earthly shoes?
Though worn and weary yet you’d plod,
How many roads have you trod?
Through city streets or soggy sod,
Doin your best, payin your dues,
How many roads have you trod,
In those earthly shoes?

The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind, The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

Happy 78th Birthday today to Bob Dylan!
If I Were You
I really don’t know what I’d do
If I were you and you were me
I might celebrate my debut
I really don’t know what I’d do
I might enjoy me being you
But us being reversed is a mystery
I really don’t know what I’d do
If I were you and you were me

Saying goodbye
Dont know why
Long deep sigh
I perspire
Lungs respire
I do aspire
To so inquire

Question for Seekers
Seek and ye shall find.
What is it that you search for?
Are you in the right place?
Acorns aren’t found beneath
The branches of Maple trees

I was prompted to write this poem today as I happened to see a little gray squirrel searching for food just outside my window. The little guy was actively checking out every flower pot, tree and place in the yard apparently looking for something to fill up his winter pantry. However, the trees in my backyard are only Maple and Evergreen, so he was coming up empty if he was looking for acorns. This caused me to consider what it was I was looking for in life and to ask myself if I was looking for it in the right places. Something we all should stop and think about occasionally
Falling Backwards
Why every November
We who are forward thinking
Must now turn back time

Good Question…
Are you climbing higher?
What is your motivation?
Your Dreams or your Fears?

Destination?
Sure of your future?
At the time of detachment
Where will you land?
