I am pieces of matter, formed by genetic code from my fathers pallet
A mere copy of many forgotten fore fathers chromosomes and genes
Energy attached to all other things in endless space and time
Have molded me into this independent creative thinking mind
I search for the connection to the universal intelligence of life
Seeking an understanding, dreaming and hoping someday to find a truth
Restrained by universal laws that keep me from straying beyond its bounds
I still surge into the future with only a hope of some strange immortality
Saving memories of my successes and failures as if one day they will count
A quest, that has no end, as the universe unfolds my future bit by bit
Yet knowing this, I continue to search for that knowledge which eludes me
An illusion I chase in dreams, as I feel it's presence so close around me
A perception I willingly bend into a perceived illusion of grandeur
Only to conclude as I awake, that the quest is fruitless, unless I transform
To gain the knowledge of everything I do, what I write and what I say
Will in some way change the world and bring understanding to others
I am matter and the imprint I leave behind will be my true and only reward.

I'm a chameleon in rainbow socks
Allured by happiness.
A mom, a poet, a sister and friend
Unaware of my own greatness.

I'm not too short, and not too tall
Can't play tennis or basketball.
Don't sing or dance or play the flute
But the one I love
I used to think
I was the leaf,
wilting
and
wavi ng
upon the wind,
falling cold
to the ground,
cracked
and
cr umbled
under the heels

I've got a look of Robert Redford,
crossed with Steve McQueen,
sing a bit like Elvis Presley,
dance like Mr Bean!
