Perspective

last night the moon came down to Earth,
hanging so low in the sky -
it was larger than life,
bold in its bright beauty -
it felt as though
to keep driving
was to reach it -
that dreams were possible;

as the world moves
at a breakneck pace
these rare moments give pause -
bring a comforting peace -
reminders of the vastness of Nature
and our space in it all

A Reminder

I'm alright;
as violent waves crash
upon the mind
the air grows thick
in the midst of the storm,

I am the rock
amid the turbulence -
unmoved, unbroken -
I will come through this
as I have before
and will again:
weathered with experience,
but still here;

to be constant
to be steady
is all

Aspirations

if some day
I become half
of what I've aspired to
in these words -
or a tenth
of those who've made me -
I will consider this life
well-lived;
until then
I am nothing
