Termination*
My responsibility
Is not to proselytize
Nor to prescribe
But to offer ideas
Thoughts that germinate,
Breaking concrete, seeds
The smallest, most compact
Focused amount of change
Inserting by its nature
Not the will of the deliverer
But the possibility,
The explosive nature,
Of a proposal
A suggestion
A conception
With the intention
Of another direction
Another determination
An option toward conclusion
Holding a promise
Beyond self
The scope of which
No one can fathom
Offering an Other-worldly
Prospect, with a view
An outlook, a vista
The spectacle that is, will be.
So I invite, broadcasting seeds
Offered to all who will consider
These, conceivably, a new termination.
*I believe my teaching, writing, mentoring is only a point on a line; at times, a punctiliar act, over time, allowing a sprout to grow, perhaps in a harvest, toward a new day, a transformation. And these ideas are not my own.
