Wide

~*Wide*~


Spreading wide, far...
Expansive, strong, triumphant...
Pointed to unknown...
Sky, sea, land...
Freedom of flight...
unrestrained...
Out of the fire,
the ashes...
Always comes new...
carry still...
Knowledge of,
before...
Old wings shed...
helping guide now...
I look to me...
You...
My heart...
Beating a steady,
Rhythm of...
Beauty, Passion,
of...
Love...

Sharks & T-Shirts

~*The Dog & The Shark*~

The dog ran into the surf,
Chasing a moving fin...
The people and I gasped,
Crazy pooch get out of there!
That’s not your turf…
But the curious canine,
sniffed and licked
Trying to follow in pursuit…
The shark though,
Seemingly uninterested in
this fury, four legged creature…
Decided to continue
on its’ swimming way.
Lucky for the pup,
who finally ran back to land…
He did not make a new,
toothy friend,
In the watery sand.

~*The T-Shirt*~

It’s the T-shirt seen
Round’ the world…
Coming in a myriad of colors,
From which to pick.
Big shirts, little shirts,
All the in between…
That's right, pets too!
Seems like everybody has one
They appear to pop up here,
There, almost anywhere...
The souvenir people just
Had to buy...
‘Look here I was on
The South Beach side's
famous cafe & H.H.I!’
Get online watch them
Be made…
Press, press, design, design...
See how they go around…
and down the line.
Yes, it’s Salty…
It’s crazy Doggy…
This logo'd cotton wonder…
Being all the rage.
As for me…
I left it on the shelf and rack
I bought C. Zodiac's
instead…

Where They Walked

*~Where They Walked~*

Over the grounds they walked,
So do I…
Through the halls they stepped,
So do I…
Between the walls they learned in,
So do I...
Soon, to the same Alma Mater will I walk,
Into the next frontier…
I always knew I would walk where they walked…
I will do it justice.
For I am a proud Grandchild,
To proud Grandparents.
