Writing

2018

I leave you lighter 
pieces of me will stay with you
stress and pain, stomach and lung
anxieties of tomorrows and panics over yesterdays

You acted as a spotlight
I had to adjust my course and avoid the cliffs
Made clear…

Gold flowed, not to be corroded
a glint could never equal a soul, for a soul can’t be molded.

But you try
Put your soul in a box and label it Pandora’s.
Cover it up with chains, watches, cars, and shoes
No wonder you see the box shaking.

“Publishing a book of poetry is like a drop of water in the ocean”.

“You could call this a poem”.
“You’ve got this, you are a writer”.
“This sucks. But it is a good place to start”.

The Clouds: 
It began with just the degrees and PHDs.
Been so long it doesn’t seem enough so I took cruising rose higher
The traveling, speaking, teaching
The family, students, impact.
Mathematic’s Tyson
A Tech side hustle that never stops.
Education over everything.
