What a blessing this all is ....


 I sit around and find that I know nothing. 
This life is so full of everything, in every form and illusion
waiting to be discovered and transformed,
broken down and torn apart,
rearranged from what came before. 

Life is fleeting
faster and faster as the world keeps turning
but here we are and there we go 
moment by moment
day by day
we pick and choose how it happens 

Death is not something that magically appears
but the ultimate end to the joys of living.
We can not escape it,
nor outrun it and pretend it all doesn't matter

I ponder, looking out my window, the point of it all
just to feel the overwhelming sense 
that there really isn't a point but a purpose

To love and be loved
to get real with all the nitty gritty bits 
and the pretty bits too
to feel everything, even the hard, tough, ugly stuff
to be thankful that you're still around to engage in the world 
to help make it a better place for those who can't themselves
and to just feel anything at all
is a blessing

Smoke and mirrors

The haze of smoke and mirrors Where nothing seems just right there's stains of life everywhere and I'm stuck in such a fright  ...
