Poet Introduction
I am everything I do, everything I feel, and everything I see. I see pain and anger, desire and love. I see the good and the bad, I bring the light to darkness, the dark to light.

Young Fool,
you feel the top.
Family, friends,
your life is full of victory!
Your bravery is leading you,
and you control your own destiny.
You have run to the top of a mountain
just to feel the wind in your hair,
you feel victorious,
all is going your way!
This is the place you have lead yourself,
you have taken the reins
of your chariot.

The father figure
the protector of his land.
His leadership is neccesary
for the fools of the world follow him.
Young Fool,
I know you want to play,
you want to do as you will
whenever you choose.
But this man teaches you something new.
You must have order
or all crumbles.
If nothing else,
learn this simple truth:
Let knowledge come,
Let it become wisdom,
Only then may you attempt to lead.

The motherly woman
protecting her people.
She leads the Fool
on the next leg of his journey.
She teaches him wisdom.
For once you have knowledge
you must learn to use it.
You become wise
and you live,
and so the Fool continues
on his journey
growing wise as he travels
the distant lands.
Little Fool,
your new found wisdom
will enrich your life.

Elderly woman,
counter to the Magician,
she holds knowledge.
A scroll in hand
she posseses reason
patience.
She is a kind old woman,
she teaches young Fool to listen.
She shows him
the value of knowledge,
how innocence is beautiful,
but knowledge is powerful.
You are still young little Fool,
but you are learning.
You are maturing
slowly and steadily,
you mature.
The first step is to learn,
for you must have knowledge
before you can grow.

Infinite possibilities,
the Magician weilds such power.
Dear young Fool,
your journey
begins with this man.
You sit before him
and he before you,
with the flick of his wrist
and the tap of his wand
Your pack opens.
He shows you ech object
you so lovingly packed.
You have all you need
to discover your true self.
You have a chance
at a new beginning,
new chances for success.
The Magician shows you
you have infinity.
Infinite possibilities,
infinite paths to follow,
for you are still so young
little Fool.

Young man of such potential,
carrying with you
an abundance of innocence and joy.
With the heart of a child
you carry all you need on your back
to begin your journey.
What is your journey
young traveler?
Where will it lead
what will you do?
The master of your own destiny,
you only see what you have and need.
You are so young,
so innocent and childlike.
You must take care
as you step foot into the unknown.

An Old Home
I sit patiently
as you stare.
You observe me,
looking for my imperfections.
I do not want you.
You who searches.
Every crack and dusty corner,
every imperfection, noted
by your scavengers eyes.
You who will try to fix
my creaking stairs,
my scratches and bruises.
You who cannot see me.
I am waiting.
Waiting for that one.
The person who will come into me,
but will not look, will see.
This person will see how every crack
every scratch and dusty corner
shows my character.
And this person will love...
as you stare.

For My People
My feet lead me, and I follow blindly. I know this land better than many, I do not need to look to find my way. And the settlement has been here long enough that I need not search for it. I will simply let my feet take me there, freeing my mind to consider my options.
I must save my people, and my wife. I do not know why, but they took her. My beautiful Tanis, and the son we adopted. His mother and father died in the last raid of our camp, and Tanis insisted we take him. Little Chetan, our son. I will walk into their village, I will meet their leader and I will look him in the eye....

Jeremy woke in the morning, far earlier than he liked. 4:25 a.m. was after all, ridiculously early for a 16 year old young man; particularly one who had stayed up the previous night until 2 am getting his homework done. He constantly worked, at school until 3 p.m, PetCorp from 3:30 to 6, and on him homework until the early hours, waking early to study and finish any homework left for this time. In fact, absolutely nothing was unique about this morning, except for one thing. Jeremy felt worse. Even worse than he had when his mother died or ever since, when his father had begun to push him so...

Hope You Know
10 at night and I’m thinking of you.
Thinking about our past,
Hoping for our future,
Hope you know, I love you.
Midnight now and I’m dreaming of you
Dreaming about your smile
And seeing your lovely eyes.
Hope you know, I love you.
6 am, and I woke up,
Smiling as I think of you,
Rolling back over, going to sleep
I hope you know I love you.
10 am, and now I’m awake
Remembering my dream
Looking forward to today
Hope you know I love...
