I am seeing a lifetime in the time
ahead of me. Which hones my sword
of Solomon to what others may consider
a murderous edge. I have made
some cuts I regret and yet because
I’ve wielded that sword there are many
I’ve never had to make. The trick
is in the willingness to use it.
The practice it takes to hold
lightly that which shapes
Destiny and Fate –
a lifetime to gain the strength
and dexterity that must be
sought and fought for before
it is given. Tomorrow means
one more, one less day
and I’m alright with that.
-Byron Hoot
