No Excuses?

No excuses mentality

Feeds into my insecurity

Of not getting everything done 

Even without sleep for days 

This Rain Battered Night In Seattle

Rain batters this night
Streetlights reflect in puddles
Madly rippling

Along the Ganges 

​In my mind’s eye

On the Ganges shore 

Sunlight rises from the east 

Comparative silence

As the city returns to life 

The joys of being surrounded by youth 


Surrounded by youth 

I delight in watching them 

Make the world better

Dreams and Aspirations 

A challenge with dreams 

Knowing whether they are yours 

Or superimposed
