What the Moon Said
I had written a poem about depression
But now I have thrown it away
I want something better a brighter digression
I want to say something today
About the moon being so bright and white last night
Rising over the avocado tree
Does the moon speak? I think it spoke to me
I strained to hear each lunar word
I listened to it hungrily
And although this might sound absurd
I think it said for me to be
More mindful of it and to see
It as it is also the stars
Up shining there as best they can
That I should break depression's bars
And undertake to be a man
Who celebrates the sky and soon
I would be healed: so said the moon

Transcendental Sonnet #1004: You Better Be Nice!
"The bigger they are the nicer they are"
You want to be big? You better be nice!
Arrogance carries you only so far
And no one can bear the taste of it twice
If you would live within the heart and mind
Make sure you leave a lot of love behind
Arrogance leads to forgetting your name
Just like the arrogant forgot their own
And fate took back the laurels of their fame
To leave them with their arrogance alone
But if you let somebody else applaud
Your name because of love which you have shown
You find out how it is to be like God
To live as love to know as you are known
