Most days it’s nothing
while others it’s something
sometimes it’s even meaningless
and at times everything
Often it’s hoped for
missed but never forgotten
It’s even longed for
often taken for granted
It’s been abused misused
stolen and cheaply sold
What is the it’s
that I’m talking about
Month: March 2023
Remember
When stepping into your
own never forget the
path which you walked
for surely others will
follow having witnessed your
success in getting there
LifeWine
Wisdom insight and knowledge
possess subtle differences hints
of various things that
sit on the minds
palette and quietly inform
and transform one’s experience
like the difference between varietals
of the same wine
Each note each hint
takes one deeper or
shallower sometimes diving headlong
and sometimes wading but
with each sip swirl
and swallow with each
lesson failure and experience
life is perpetually unlocked
and we move forward
Hey
And from some far
off place perhaps the
valley of possibility tucked
at the foot of
the mountain of expectation
comes a voice heard
Hey
And once again yet
again sliding down from
the mountain top after
clinging to the peak
of expectation I skid
slip and stumble past
boulders of heartbreak over
pebbles of indiscretions and
affairs back on down
past the tree line
of awkward first dates
coming to the pool
of possibility where I
hear that familiar voice
Hey
FaithVsBelief
The hardest thing to
have in life is
faith and the easiest
is belief believing in
something or someone out
there allows for abdication
like a fish believing
that the worm was
just sitting there waiting
when in fact the
worm hid the hook
and once swallowed wriggling
free is sometimes impossible
But faith is responsibility
for finding things that
aren’t there and can’t
be seen but that
promise to be there
if you search long
enough because your heart
tells you it is
be patient have faith
stop believing in things
