Ping-Pong

jmacthedreamLeave a comment

Back and forth. To and fro.

Here and there. When and where.

Up and Down. Side to side. Down

and up. Song and dance. It takes

one to know one. It takes two to tango.

Yin and Yang. Desert and the jungle.

Two singles. Two halves. One double.

I hit the ball to you. You hit it back.

You joke and I laugh. Over the net

and into the sunset. You hit the ball,

and I hit it back. Back and forth.

The time we play ping-pong slows

down. Sounds of the ball hitting

the table keeps us stable. I’m able

to bob and weave. Float and flow.

Stop and go. I love it when we play

ping-pong every night: every day.

Step by Step

Step by step, climb those stairs.

Work your way up. Erupt like

a volcano once dormant. Break

the mold. Put bad days on hold.

One day at a time. Find the words

that rhyme. Climb that mountain.

Cleanse yourself in that fountain.

Step on that ladder. Get to the top.

There’s no rush. Take it real slow.

Just don’t stop; it’s your time to go.

If you slip up and fall down; get up.

Shoot for the stars. Reach for the sky.

No time to rest. It’s time to fly.

Train of Thought

The train has left the station.

There is a one-way ticket.

Full speed ahead. Faster than

words said. There’s no going

back now. It will go as far

as my brain allows. Crossroads

will appear. Fear will disappear.

The genie is out of the bottle.

My train of thought has been

lost. It speeds along the mountain-

side of my busy mind. I will find

it this time. I will ride this positive

train of thought now and again.

I continue to move every second

that a thought starts and ends.

Land of the Lost

Welcome to the Land of the Lost
where outsiders get tossed.
There seems to be no direction.
People become confused
stopping at an intersection.
Like zombies, people are living
mindlessly. People are lost
until they are found. It is hard
when no one is around. Lost
and confused, there is little
to lose. These people need
help, yet society is hard to read.
Moving at their own speed,
there is no time to plant
the seed. There is no time to
watch things grow. It is not
anyone’s fault, though. Life
has become a jungle trapping
those awake and those napping.
At this rate, there is no time
to waste. There are problems
to face. We must keep living
for are own sake. If you are
lost, hop in your car and go.
You never know where you
will land. Navigate the land
of the lost. Play in the sand.
Let’s go. Please, take my hand.

Fam(ily)

I would do anything for my family.

There’s sacred love found inside

each one of our minds. Time spent

together is cemented in forever.

Sacrifices I’ve made have become

memories made. It is a give and take.

I recognize the love early before

it’s too late. People come and go.

So, you must let them know that

you love them to the moon and back.

Everything I do is for my family:

the ones I am proud to be around.

Blood is thicker than water. The sun

seems to be getting hotter. My life

has given me incredible foresight.

I know why people work so hard:

to provide for the ones they love.

In the end, we lose ourselves to find

solace in everyone else. Family is

forever as long as we are together.
