A poem I wrote many years ago for a friend's 30th. See if you can spot the hidden message.

Fly away with ardent dreams —

Undulate through stars abound

Carefree, sure, but by all means

Keep one foot planted on the ground

... ... ...

Brave the work: afford the play

(Even when it's unforgiving)

Imbibe all night! Sleep through the day!

Now what is life, if not for living?

... ... ...

Graceful is the one whose Zen

Overrides all of their doubt,

Learn that stress helps none, and then

Do naught else but love. Peace out.
