"What makes a flower a flower? And why doesn't the dandelion qualify?" -From my poem "Dandelions"


The goal is the path,
Where have I heard that before?
The goal is the path
What does it mean?
You try all your life and never
Succeed
Or maybe life is about the journey
Not the success
With every thought a journey begins
Where have I heard that before?
A thought is a journey
I don't know, I guess it makes sense
When I thought about you
I remembered you said
The goal is the path
Which made me think
What does it mean?
Which made me think
Maybe the goal is finding the path
The road to perfection
The passage of life
Which made me think
I have wasted loads of time
I should have been published
Should have found love
Should have had more friends
Should have been well known
Should have made my mark on history
Should have told you there was no such thing
As you and me
then I realized
With every thought a journey begins
Because look what I just went and did
A whole world unfolded at my fingertips
All because you went and made me think
About what this means:
The goal is the path
And it all makes sense
