Poetry starts as an idea or phrase which expands into a message to be brought through from somewhere. Where it comes from is a more magical place than here, or maybe it offers a more magical perception of here. It comes by virtue of intellect, wonder, and the Spirit of Contemplation. -Kelly Voelker kellywriteaway@gmail.com

Getting Caught Up
What would it take
To get catch up with the pace
Does it feel like you'll always
Be losing the race?
Have you fallen behind while
In route of your dreams?
Perhaps you have realized
Nothing is as it seems.
Not dreams, not your visions
Not your career or provisions
Not easily acquired
Or maintained within hours
You reasonably expected
Or thought would suffice
Instead you are living
On borrowed money and time.
What would it take to
Achieve something more simple
Within easier reach
Not likely to stumble
When satisfied within means
Of a natural human
Caught up is the person
Who at heart is more humble.
