I wrote this one years ago, and thought about putting it in the "My America" thread as it seems very relative to that poem, but since it appears we are doing the one poem on one thread thing, I went this route.

Come Promise Myself


I don't know but I pretend.
I have limited resources but I spend.
I think we're all equal but not the same.
I believe in free discussion but someone's to blame.
I have everything but need more.
I am a Being but without a core.
I love my neighbor but not my brother.
I have one goal but want another.
I believe in health but not in care.
I believe in Here but am not there.
I stand by truth but live a lie.
I want life now but wait to die.
I feel mature but have not changed.
I think I'm sane but deranged.
I envy my children but still abuse.
I know what to do but what's the use.
I've promised better days but am uncertain still.
I have no reasons to vote but I will
Maybe,
Just maybe.

I-Sight

Sometimes,
Even the Odds
Are in my favor
Strangely, rearranging
Our disastrous behavior

And it's This
I claim to see,
Nay, crave to be
As the One Desire -
To ride the Wave
And soar It Higher -
Faster than the speed of Now
And deeper than the well of Doubt;
For whence you see me as without,
I am not There

Don't ask me how.

Cause I may just tell you...
Just between you and me
Is Energy eye cannot see.
I Feel Us Alive -
Wild, innocent and Free.
Forever We survive...
Acting in our dramas
Often carelessly,
Dare I say dangerously,
Yet rarely responsibly -
Responsible for what I
(not eye)
Can see...can see...can see...

As Me.

I enjoyed your poems, Josh, very well written.
