Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.  - Japanese proverb

The Power of When

Gifted women and men,
How have you been?
Stuck in a pen?
Now a range-free hen?
Practice yoga and then…
Zen in the den.
Invest in Again.
Instead of in Yen.
Borrow from Big Ben.
Time, for a friend.
Pick up your pen.
Write words that mend,
Inspire, defend,
calm and attend.
Then fly like a wren.
Free of year’s end.
The power of when.

Got Hope

washes away like soap
a no-net tightrope
it's tempting to mope
divorce or elope
feel like a dope

use balance to cope
turquoise is to taupe
as "why not" is to "nope"
