The Well-Wisher


Well-wishing and looking at the rippled lines
Vacancy’s and for sale signs
Can be seen as discouraging tombs
Or as opportunity to invest anew

Flies amass to stickiness
Sweet like candy, more or less
So, as you enjoy each treats bliss
Remember, that flies also swarm to…

Wink, wink, nod, nod
Poking your eyes out with the cattle prod
Electric bolts to spark you bright
On a fated windswept night

Oh, how the niceties in life
Can grow to be repulsive
And how the ugliest thoughts
Can become the prettiest

I’m closing my eyes and praying on a penny.
Believing upon splash comes the answers to my dreams aplenty

Correctional

Dreams are polite
Distant and far
Over reach
And come down with stars

Hopes are intimate
Close to the heart
Rely on too many
You may not get far

Goals and plans are levelers
Concrete systems
To get through the day
To-do’s, Charts, Graphs and Lists
So much planning
And still you miss

Do not fret over a failed task
Do not drown in self-pity
Or bathe yourself in diminished lights

Open up your mind and see
The lessons life has to teach,
The most instructive often hide amongst flaws and ruins
Changing and deviation are but two of the many alterations found along the path
