The Days of My Life
By John Herlihy

We often speak of
Taking one day at a time.
When the day arrives
I pretend it is mine.
We haven’t a moment to spare,
In the light of the sun’s glare.
Every step that I take
May an entire world make.
Who knows but that one single act
Can become one great unique fact.
Step by step, piece by piece,
I make my way to enduring peace.
The days of my life but a wall,
That I climb steadily so as not to fall.

If we aren't climbing, we are going down--for sure.

Pah! Suns glare? Not sure the last time there wasn't a national cloud cover.

So often, one act does set new motion ablaze.
The one from above, sees all!

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
