Garwin's Teeth

Garwin's teeth jagged and sharp
Poised in icy splendor
Frozen - yet not
The yawning maw waits
For the warm kiss of spring

The Sheep or The Shepherd

Are you the sheep or the shepherd?
The voice asks.
Is it the crowd of popular bliss that beckons?
Do you wonder, or not, about the effects of popularity's actions?
Do you follow the worn path trampled by others?
Does the advice of authority govern your decisions?
Are you the sheep or the shepherd?
The voice persists.
Is the discovery of the unknown a mysterious wonder?
Do you blaze your own trail through the briar?
Do you question the popular path?
Do you dare to pen your own destiny?
Are you the sheep or the shepherd?
Ask yourself, the voice whispers.
And answer true.
