Teamwork
My Poem “The Dream Team”
Sometimes, most of the time, to complete a task of great importance, you can only count on the best of the best to be able to achieve what must be achieved and to do what must be done... sometimes, most of the time, you need to call in an "A-Team" of consumate experts and professionals to push forwards, go beyond the limits, and not stop until the battle being faced has been won... sometimes, most of the time, there is only a small group of colleagues who have worked together for a long time who can work together to do the impossible and turn a bad situation into something good... sometimes, most of the time, a certain combination of souls are the only ones that can rise to the occasion and ride the waves of a flood... sometimes, most of the time, only those who have been sent far and wide, know what it is like to have to brave a storm of chaos and leave as they arrived with their heads held high with stories of what they have done, who they have met, and where they have been... sometimes, most of the time, when there is trouble happening somewhere that you know no one else can handle, why settle for anything less than The Best when you know that you can always call on, and you know that you can always count on, the unparalleled skills of the dream team.
My Poem “Infinity”
There is nothing
that draws peoples’ eyes
than that of the dragon-like fire
of a rocket as it blasts off from Earth,
like a falcon that pierces the blue sky,
until it reaches the eternal darkness
of space where it is always night
and adorned with distant starlight –
and it is always a feat of human
ingenuity, teamwork, and dreams
that makes such a leap into the unknown
one of many small steps that
will always be recorded in great
detail for generations to come
what inspired and intelligent
people can do when they work together
with a mission of peace
and space exploration
and see them return safely
with stories of what was,
what is, and what will be
the more that humanity reaches out
towards the stars with unity
as we continue to explore
the depths of infinity.
