When life gives you lemons,<br /> Eat them.<br /> They do not taste that bad.<br /> <br /> Life is like autumn.<br /> Stop to crunch the pesky leaves.<br /> <br /> Love is... let me think...<br /> <br /> Don&#039;t judge a book by its cover.<br /> <br /> Poetry is a way to put words to things that are unexplainable.

A person's like a starry sky,
On a summer's eve.
No matter how you look at it,
It's so hard to believe.

The beauty and surprises there,
You know are there for sure.
You see them with your own two eyes-
They're not a hazy blur.

As you raise your head at night,
Be thinking deep inside,
As long as you don't look too deep,
The beauty, still, will
Hide.

The author's comments:
Long hard day while I was on tour in CA. The rest of our troupe was having problems... much drama. I looked up at the sky -- in LA, California. With the smog I couldn't see any stars, and that only reminded me I wasn't home. I kept looking, and after about 5 minutes, I could see one single star. Then, after another minute or two, another one. They kept coming, till after I looked hard enough, the whole sky was beautiful again.
