Defy Gravity

Dare to face the unknown.
Expect to find greatness within yourself.
Face your fears.
Your dreams do matter; chase them.

Go against the grain when you must.
Right the wrongs of this world.
Accept what you cannot change; learn from it and grow.
Vanquish self-doubt.
Impassion others through your words and deeds.
Try your best.
Your life, be it a wave or a ripple, makes all the difference in the world.

My Wandering Mind

Today my mind just left me,
simply jumped right out of my car!
At first I wasn't that worried;
in the evening it usually won't get too far.

But sometimes my mind can be tricky,
and when it's in that mode I never know
exactly what it is thinking
or in which direction it will flow.

So down the road it danced
between all of the rusty-gold trees...
It circled around the cows in the fields
and rolled in the country's fallen leaves.

Then it heartily inhaled the evening breeze
and giggled as it flew into the purple-red sky;
It tiptoed among the stars as they awoke one by one
and sang the sun a lullabye.

Then it sank back through my rooftop,
flopped into the passenger seat,
lay back and sighed reluctantly
then quietly fell asleep.
