You'll Never Know, I'll Never Tell

                                                              If you do not know
                                                              From the very first
                                                               If you cannot see
                                                          Whence comes my thirst
                                               Then to you I'll ever wear thickening shell
                                                      You'll never know, I'll never tell. 

                                                              I'm an open book
                                                            But you cannot read
                                                               I walk my way
                                                             And pay no heed
                                               To game, or knave, or beckoning spell
                                                   You'll never know, I'll never tell. 

                                                           You cannot see me
                                                      Though I stand unadorned
                                                       They long since gave up
                                                         Worshiped or scorned
                                                  What am I truly? Harmless or fell,
                                                     You'll never know. I'll never tell.

Parkour

A short sequence I was working on during open gym. I actually got the lache without the extra swing a little later.

I carved this for my wedding present for my cousin Danielle, and her husband Kris.

Grow now, grow!
Do not stay small and weak
Feel things, feel!
For when you feel you shall seek
Find things, find!
And know what discovery can wreak

Make things, make!
Build them well, build them strong
Learn things, learn!
If you do, you won't be wrong
Do things, do!
With all your might, all day long!

Be now, be!
Who you are, be so more
Love now, love!
When a joy and when a chore
Live now, live!
Use your life for what it's for

And follow the path laid out for you
Now, and forevermore!
