A Rare Bit of Original Poetry


No promises of great things.

Just hope. 

Just the hope that because great things have been, great things will be.

I don't need more time. I need less things to do in the time that I have. 

I need Sabbath. I need rest.

I need more meaning in the things that I do in the time that I have.

I dig. I seek. I hope. I promise.

I promise that if you'll do this with me, I'll do this with you.

You don't have to go first. You just have to go along.

I'm going to jump. And I need to know you'll be there when I do.

I hope. I need. I want. I wish.

I wish there were fewer "I"s in these sentences.

Wish. Want. Dig. Seek. Need. Hope. Promise.

Better.

Thank you.

That is all.
