This poem reflects on the quiet forms courage takes in everyday lifeβpersistence without recognition, and the small acts that keep people moving forward.
The Sound of Ordinary Courage
Most courage
doesnβt look like thunder.
It looks like someone
getting up again
without announcing it.
It looks like quiet hands
washing a cup,
paying a bill,
answering a message
when the heart isnβt in it.
No banners.
No applause.
Just the stubborn decision
to keep going.
This poem is about noticing where real wisdom livesβnot in noise or success, but in people who slow down, listen carefully, and remain attentive to the world.
A Thought I Had While Walking
The world is loud
about the wrong things.
Success. Speed. Winning.
But the best people I know
move slowly
and listen carefully.
They notice the sky.
They ask real questions.
They remember your name.
If thereβs wisdom anywhere,
I think it lives there.
This poem explores how small acts of kindness can become deeply meaningful, especially when someone is struggling and needs even the smallest gesture of care.
The Weight of Small Kindness
A door held open.
A stranger smiling.
Someone saying
βtake your time.β
These things seem tiny
until the day
you desperately need one.
Then suddenly
a small kindness
feels like oxygen.
And you realize
how easily
we save each other.
This poem reflects on what people ultimately remember about one anotherβnot victories or achievements, but loyalty, honesty, and the way someone stayed present through difficult moments.
What Remains
In the end
I donβt think we remember
the victories.
We remember
who stayed.
Who spoke honestly.
Who didnβt run
when things got difficult.
History may forget
our names.
But the people we loved
wonβt forget
how we lived.
Sometimes a poem doesnβt answer anything.
Sometimes it just sits with the truth a little longer than we usually allow.
Either way, here are some new poems. πππ

Imagine being the guy trying to get comedians fired from networks, deploying troops into U.S. cities, defunding scientific research to cure cancer and other chronic diseases, calling for the AG in public to prosecute your enemies...
and thinking you deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

In a world full of terrible people who want to destroy everything great on this beautiful earth, be like Jane Goodall.
Conserve the natural world.
Protect animals.
RIP Jane Goodall. π¦
