In this world of our wants and
needs,
consumed with thoughts and
desires,
we often ignore our own inner
pleads,
being caught up in life’s
burning fires.
Our bodies in conflict with our
minds,
dos and don’ts leave us in utter
confusion,
as reality and fantasy blend in
passing time,
sadly becoming lost in our own
illusions.
Life is a matter of choices and
free will,
constantly searching just to
find our way,
sometimes we’re so hot before a
big chill,
never knowing whether to go or
to stay.
Planning for the future we live
in the pass,
we travel the passage of time
ever so slow,
soon what we have is gone for
nothing last,
left in the swarthiness
searching for a glow.
Life’s adventures cause us fear
and fright,
a quest for meaning in the
struggle and pain,
in hopes we’ll find the
brilliance of the light,
while feeling so all alone in
the pouring rain.
