Traveling Light

Set sail for the horizon
clear the deck of all regret
pack only the good memories
you are traveling light

Course through the day
with open eyes and open mind
shed misconceptions
embrace new insights

Make love your headlight
shining 360 degrees
your smile will be your passport
your spirit will flourish

Destiny

I would trail quietly behind erasing our tracks
so none could follow and I could watch
as your senses test the mystifying offerings of the universe

If I were in fact to chance upon you
as you pursue your destiny
would I not become attached to your periphery

As witness to your progression
am I unwrapping a gift beyond my understanding
or am I looking into a mirror that looks back

Your eyes are my only clue
should you ever turn around
you'll either see me or see through me

Chance Encounters

If it were easy to bend someone to your will
have them sign on the dotted line
you could pursue a path to riches
possess the grail of gratification

But there is often a juxtaposition
of the expected and the unexpected
each falling neatly into the shadow of the other
and casting suspicions that put people at odds
and deals to death

Yet sometimes chance encounters
of players from opposing sides
offer a moment to see beyond the goal
to subtract treasure from the equation
and obviate the need for competition
replacing it with fragrant remedies
and the glow that comes with faith
