With true intent I've lived by my every word, as I look back with no anger I can see the universe converse
For history is good in the acknowledgement of blueprints made, it can help recognise that this is all but a stage!
The pages have always been ours to design which role we play, when ego becomes our friend not something we hide away.
Helping each other to feel like we a just floating through space, in something that should be enjoyed not a race to the ending wave.
(Written 2019)
Some songs remind us where we need to go
Others will remind us what we already know
I'm only two years away but there's something I'd like to acknowledge
I've heard Life begins at 40
Before that it was just a test run
Many bridges I have broken
Some can never be rebuilt
Although islands do not drift
The connections just not quick
But until we rise above
Using starship out of love
The ocean is our journey
Emotional waves never stop
So now I'm starting to build, one last ship
With nearly 38 years worth of blueprints
On the very first page I give thanks in my mothers name
For I held a grudge against her for far too long
The best she could do, brought up the best that's in me
For me to be truly proud of myself, It must be with all I've seen
So I'm thanking her for giving me life and the opportunity to grow
I could not be more happier with every person I've known

Good write, Dan.
Always appreciate your time
You've really put it altogether there, mate.
It almost feels like a summary of all you ever wanted to say in one place. I admired it...you will be coming back to write more, won't you? Not your final effort here, is it?
Ha, I read this and thought I'd write something. Before I know it and in the words of the wife...I got poetic diarrhoea
I'm sure you did this before so thanks again for the ripple of inspiration..
Much peace and respect
A fine write Dan.
Always doing my best
tempered delivery of impassioned honesty,
wonderfully raw and proud..
a great read! dear talented poet
Yes my friend i am proud to be me and the universe can keep testing me. Its not like we have a choice anyway or do we.... always appreciate your time my friend
