About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Some things are impossible. For example, I can’t turn into a 12-foot alligator to scare you guys off by the sheer force of will. And don’t think I haven’t tried.

Maybe I need to become a religious fanatic to pull this one off, by insisting, “With God, all things are possible.” Maybe, but I think God, too, usually stays within the laws of nature, which He Himself has designed.

Joking aside, some things are quite possible if they are within our reach, even if we don’t recognize how reachable they are. For example, we can all be award winners with our writing, should we apply ourselves as fully as the craft dictates.

Through the same expectations, we tell young children, “You can be anything you want to be.” Well, the wording is off, here, isn’t it? The word "anything" would include the 12-foot alligator, too. So, “You can be successful in any area that is possible for humankind,” would be a better way of putting it, without confusing the poor kids.

What is seemingly possible can be:
*Bulletb* Getting a new job in a bad economy
*Bulletb* Getting married and remarried until you die
*Bulletb* Holding on to your children, your house, your life, when the going gets tough.
*Bulletb* Feeling better health-wise
And so on and so forth.

Yet, some extraordinary people do visualize what seems impossible, and through their imagination and creativity, they begin to see it possible. Take Edison or Tesla or Marconi, for example.

From that point of view maybe in time, me turning into a 12-foot alligator will be possible if some bio-geneticist comes up with a solution by messing around with my genes.

If that is done, Beware, People!
