Poem "Feeling Caged by Life"

Life is like a cage; sometimes setting limits on our liberty of movement in the world at large and at other times completely cutting us off from the aspirations of our hearts and minds.

Life's cage can be only be conquered when we possess the proper key and cast the door wide open, but what kind of key can unlock a life . . . . . . . .

Life itself is the key to freedom and liberty as only by living, loving and learning can we possess the knowledge which  opens the door.

Therefore live inquisitively, live generously, live lovingly and be free.

Poem: "Seeking For Evocative Thoughts While Walking in the Garden"

Picture a garden, diverse, unconventional and lush with the wonders of  life.
Walk into this garden where Hibiscus is mixed with Heliopsis and Honeysuckle.
An abundance unsurpassed, a beauty seldom seen, and your senses brought to life.

Erotic and Erratic the vacillating smells arouse you and draw you deeper . . .
 . . . . . deeper . . . . . . . . . . . . . . deeper into the garden. Unexpectedly you realize that
the whimsicality and eccentricity of the garden have enchanted your very soul.

How would you proceed?

Would you press forward and explore the random paths and twisting alleys, which
branch outward from the central path?

In a poets mind there is but one choice; to take the path less worn, and to
journey through the garden in anticipation of wondrous discovery at every turn.
For only by traveling such a path can you find the random evocative and simple truth.
Then inspired by our revelations we can find new understanding of this amazing world. 

It is this which makes us pause

It is this which makes us grow


You must risk all; to find the answers
