To Stand or Not to Stand?
A Poem…
You take a stand, you make waves
that can’t be ignored.
Some fear they’ll be crushed
and swim for shore.
But some say “surfs up!”
and grab their boards.
Take a stand or not
the choice is yours.
But if you don’t stand
the world will be bored.
And, if you ask me
Life is too short
So, to stand or not?
To stand, of course!

Icarus Fall
He ascends toward
Scorching blinding light
And the wax is hot
But he doesn’t mind
So what if Icarus fell
He’s breathing sun wind
Drinking melted gold
And the beat of wings
Makes him feel like God
So what if Icarus fell
Feathers loosed apart
He’s on crazy run
Cutting through the light
To embracing sun
So what if Icarus fell
People far behind
Far from joy and love
Walking dirty land
Dare not look above
And they say “So what if Icarus flies”
And he fell from skies
Burning, blazing wreck
Never asking “Why?”
Never looking back
So what if Icarus fell
He’s still flying
Oh what a beautiful image in my mind, of people grabbing their boards and yelling surfs up. It’s joy, pure and simple that the visionaries are creating for the entire world.
blessings,
lightenup
a poem i certainly can relate to!
i’m a surfer, and i am determined to save the world and all beings by compassion!
and it’s joyous!
lovely!
For Nancy, and simple love…
It’s been a day
Long, and the sky was gray
Over the ocean and far away
Very beautiful you warmly bathe
Exotic and naked, at waves do you gaze
Yellow poppies are yours, glistening from the rain
On warm beds, soaking-in fragrant peddles that lay
Under bright lime green terraces that simply seem to say
I Love You
