Shoot

Clay pots being filled with plants.

-Brian Mendonca

I am here today

I am here now

We'll see this through

some day, some how.

Time is no stranger

I have seen him before

Manage the minutes

the hours will pass.

An audit for my days

seems presumptuous.

Where life is for living

from seed to shoot.

On Seafarer's Day

where Poseidon presides

what happens in your life

is what the universe decides.
