When in doubt,
Run towards where the fire is at.
When in doubt,
Donate what you possess.
When in doubt,
Work on your muscles.

Riddle
Threw a tons of question
Answers stink of their immorality
Yet something about its warmth
Draws my attention closer
Wondering what it could be
I dip my finger to give it a try
Hoping this won’t take awhile
But who knows what beholds inside this one.

Shield
Because the shields are born out of fire,
They thrive on pressure.
Battlefield is where they are called to.
When bullets explore towards you,
When the silvery teeth blink from sheath,
Shields are called upon, to tank it all, and then push back.
Guarding its realm of space, they thrive.
When you see a fire, run towards it.
For the shields are with you as always.

Running On A Rope
Deep contemplation and years of encounters,
Thousands of practices may have prepared for this sprint
A challenge visited like a whimsical hail storm, a quick sand in a vast desert,
Your question prompts series of serious decisions to be made.
Do I know enough?
Do I risk my time?
Uncertain slope of the rope is to be ignored with a sprint.
Only fingers that are crossed may do something about this business.

Rolly Polly
Spark of reflection of white sun light
Caused my eye to blink,
Waking up to the wave of glistening river
Sending a breeze of summer air,
Causing my nose to sneeze,
Waking up to the rising trunks of concrete buildings
With nylon red and blue soaking in the pool of water
Rêverie of the summer. Blessing to remember.
