Listen, then you Can.

Listen! Listen!
If you listen you just might hear me
If you hear you can find me
You can find me and then
Then you can.

Listen! Listen!
If you listen you can know this
If you know you may take this
If you take this and then
Then you can.

Listen! Listen!
If you listen you may do it
If you do it you just might reach for it
If you reach and then
Then you can.

Then.
Only then.

    Succulent

    There is a small plant that sits on the corner of my life.

    It is a tough little plant;
    I have not watered it.
    I do not give it soil, but I do take it, and throw it to the wind.

    List

    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded
    You succeeded but you failed

    You are above their bar and below yours
    You survived but you do not celebrate

    They say you reached for the stars.

    Dying songbird

    Please don't leave me, you dying songbird.

    Your song is still beautiful, no matter the notes, no matter the order
    Please don't leave your rusting cage via shoebox, friend.
