A poem by Andell McCoy
A beating heart
A breath
A vision
A life
the kaleidoscope
adventure
from birth to death
measured in human time
in and out of
rhythm,
in and out of
rhyme
The moments, the minutes, hours, days, months
and years
of the ticking clock,
ticking, ticking, ticking
our ticker-tape
thoughts
feelings
and
greatest fears
Decisions
indecisions
goals and challenges too
“Heavens to murgatroyd”
what are we to do????
Intuitively
Inspired
purposeful
and phenomenal
miracles and magic
Faulty,
ridiculous
meaningless
and manic
toils panic
Yet,
can
anything
be
truly
meaningless
for in every action,
is a test
be our worst
be our best
and
surely
there
is
a consequence
So for who, what, when, where,
why, and how
do we take action
responsibility now?
Do we dare
to think
dare to care
with the
maddening
of all madness
brewing everywhere
Chaos, confusion, selfishness
fear, greed and hate
are not our solutions
eyes wide open
before it’s too late
