ASTROLOGY CLASS
A small space
Filled with a face
Each with a place
to fulfill
at will
With seeds to be sown
Each on their own
Wondering how deep
The promises to keep
Searching for why
Touching the planets in the sky
Each face
Seeking to find
The meaning of the universe
Through astrological signs
Birth, Life, Death, Rebirth
Water, Air, Fire, Earth
Ever changing the day
Rearranging their way
Following their heart
Through their Astrological Chart

BE WHERE YOUR FEET ARE
With my feet firmly planted
On the ground
I take a moment
To look down
And realize that
Near or far
I can only be
Where my feet are

I AM NOT
I am not my mother
I am not my breasts
I am not the A or F
I make on a test
I am not my brother or sister
I am not my dad
I am not the clothes I wear
Or the latest fad
I am not my computer
Or the poetry I write
I am not the fear I feel
When I'm alone at night
Take away all that I am not
And after clearing away the debris
I am left with the only part that belongs
I am left with only me

JURY ROOM
A sea of faces
A feeling of gloom
Flows through the people
Sitting in the room
We've resigned ourselves to waiting
Reading magazines and books
Once in a while looking up
With a bored, disinterested look
The TV blares a movie
We watch for lack of something else to do
We're forced to remain in our little space
Much like animals in the zoo
For three days our mentalities are reduced
As we become appalled
Waiting like a herd of sheep
For our number to be called
Oh wait !! Hark !!
An announcements just been said
Everyone's jerked their head up
As if awakened from the dead !!
We're told this is the system
Just relax, be calm, stay cool
We're doing our community service
We are the Jury Pool!!

THE INNOCENCE OF WISDOM
Innocence lost
Is wisdom gained
Returning to the
Innocence once again
And as the cycle
Goes 'round and 'round
The small steps you take
Become leaps and bounds

PARODY TO YOUNG AT HEART
Well I'd like to arrange
For a very big change
To take place in my life
Cause' this is no joke
It's heart attack or a stroke
If I don't do it now
And if I should survive
To a hundred and five
I'd like this change to take place
While I'm still alive....
So, I'm on my way now
While I still don't know how
But I'm gonna' do it while I'm still
Young at heart!

PROCRASTINATION
When I tend to procrastinate
I seem to look the other way
So I've decided to create the space
To lie my tomorrow today

I KNOW YOU
I've probably never met you
I don't even know your name
And although you and I are quite unique
In many ways we're the same
Individually we learn life's lessons
As we walk our separate paths
Joining together in unison
As we learn to love and laugh
And with each new day as the sun arises
Our lives may be filled with awesome surprises
A call from a friend or flowers sent
A thank you or a compliment
A pat on the back, a hug and kiss too
And tender words spoken that say I love you
One day you and I might cross the same street
We might come face to face and never meet
We may come from two separate places on earth
But each of us have known from the moment of birth
That although we think we're different
We're really the same
And I will know you intimately
Without ever knowing your name
