I happened past two old men playing chess today
Under a cherry tree.
I could hear the motors whirring in their minds.
The grayer one sat puzzled, contemplating.
He chose his piece with no dispatch.
Should we follow suit? Is the world one big choice that we are evermore working on?
What harm is in choosing the bunch of bananas in the perfect shade of yellow?
Or persistently perfecting a dream of traveling the world
To have it down to the exact inches of earth you would like to stand on?
Even though the dream is nearer impossible than possible.
LIVE!
I love this one! It's a real encouragement to be reminded that my dreams are worth pursuing. :)
