My Destiny©
Stumped by the beauty of the day
Destiny takes hold of my hand
Begging me to tag along
I tread lightly
Not wanting to disrupt
The tranquility
Hopeful to extend my stay
No questions
No answers
Just existence
Life decides my fate
Please hurry and show me the way

The Seed©
The seed well planted
Is the idea that survives once its been told
The idea that gains a life of its own
Once you’ve taken hold of it
As the years go by
Others take from this idea and make it their own
The seed that was once planted
Can now make it on its own
It needs little nourishment
Because it was once soundly planted
On the idea of its own making

Twins©
The twin is the pair who fight alone
Each for an identity of their own
While they may look-alike or much the same and know the others feelings
They have their own mind and their own feelings
The twin is often at odds with its partner
Mostly just out of fear of losing their individual self
Twins are just your ordinary odd couple both
At odds with one another
As well as themselves
Without each other their happiness fades
When forced to exist on their own
It’s possible
However, emptiness will always remain
As it does for anyone who loses a piece of themselves
Hold on to your sorrow for as long as they have the other
Their happiness will continue to flourish
For twins have untapped strength and determination

My Poem of the Day
(08/26/14)
Irish Twins
Sisters by blood
Sisters with love
Sisters that no distance destroys
Though tattered and torn
Aching and ailing
Still the same not to worry
It’s amazing near or far
That one knows what the other feels
That one knows what the other is thinking
That one knows the other is in danger
It’s amazing that two different bodies
Can suffer the same medical diseases
Limb by limb
Heal the same
Hurt the same
And
Want the same
We are the same but different
One married
One single
One with children
One without
Both with cats
One with more
One with less
Nonetheless
The same but different
We’re “Irish Twins”
