GREATEST CHOICE

Why do we continue to forget?
That life is now, not before, not yet
Not living each moment, our lives pass by,
In the end we regretfully ask, why?

We are given more than just a chance,
To get out on center stage and dance.
But we choose to standby and view,
Others enjoy what you also have a right to.

We most often select the emotion of fear,
Which we learned our first year.
We allow people to cause us pain,
As we ponder what is there in life to gain.

Knowing we have the potential to be,
Is not enough for the soul, you see?
It wants to experience all that it knows,
To fully realize itself as it grows.

What prevents us from experiencing happiness?
Is choosing fear as the emotion to express
Someday I hope we have the courage to feel,
That Love is the greatest choice that is real.

ENGE

Like a caged animal on hard ground,
He performed on this circle-in-the-round.
Tossed roses fell on stage
Like peanuts in a monkey's cage.

True to a circle with no beginning, no end,
He searched the audience in hopes to find a friend,
Who might understand as he kept turning round?
As an actor might feel being laughed at as a clown.

He wants to face them all at once,
So they can see his eyes,
To know what's in his heart,
When he says, "there's no good-byes".

Now he performs in venues that he feels,
Will encompass his ideals.
Who is this man, who do you think?
My very good friend, Englebert Humperdinck
