How does one decipher,
Mixed messages conveyed?
Go where there is no path,
But be careful not to stray.
Reach for the stars is guidance…
That often goes around,
But can this be achieved…
When keeping both feet on the ground?
Am I shooting for the moon…
If I aim to rise above the crowd?
Or is this evidence…
That my head is in the clouds?
Unraveling ancient proverbs,
Double edged, their meanings dual,
Will knowledge bring me power…
Or the wisdom of a fool?

like a majestic tree
rooted in the ground
and it’s crown dancing
gloriously in the clouds
Imagination always
trumps knowledge
and experience
is homeward bound
