Zen Apprentice

Seeking enlightenment 17 syllables at a time.

Advertising copywriter by day, aspiring philosopher/poet by night.

Music from the past.
A teenager once again.
Reliving my youth.

Shiny, black tarmac.
A good sign for thirsty plants.
A bad sign for bikes.

Wings spread, poised for flight.
Eyes toward the sky. Breath, held.
Step into fresh air.

I try not to judge.
I try to show compassion.
I must try harder.

A faraway goal.
Diversions get in the way.
Stay focused, stay true.
