To realize true fulfillment,
opposites must meet.

        Love and hate.

To realize true fulfillment,
opposites must meet.

        Sorrow and happiness.

To realize true fulfillment,
opposites must meet.

        Contentment and anger.

To realize true fulfillment,
opposites must meet.

        Disharmony and peace.

To realize true fulfillment,
opposites must meet.

It's a laundry list of problems.
Nothing that someone hasn't had before.

Except now they are mine.

Why is this laundry mine by the way?
I didn't ask for it.

I'd rather have a nice vacation.

Do you think I can take them to the cleaners?
Maybe speedy express would work.

Can't hurt to try.

The pile just grows bigger and bigger.
What if I washed some things together?

Will one of them bleed?

Maybe it can hurt if I try.
How will I know?

Anyone?
Anyone out there?

Earlier today,
my brother lost his best friend.

Everything
He knew
Is now gone.

Sadness has moved in.
Devastation has a front row seat.
Emptiness is all around.

Nothing
Feels right
Everything feels wrong.

Crying
Anguished Sobbs
Heart wrentching moans

Memories
Overwhelming loss
Pure immeasurable pain.

How can I help?
What can be done?
Why did it have to be?

Sending me down the road
Mom said don't worry, you'll do fine
Work hard
Work honest
Be kind

The road lead me to my home
I worked hard
Worked honest
Was kind

Just as I was told, I found
Hard work moves you forward
Honesty is a must
Kindness is a friend to all

I saw my brother
A life now gone
Alone on the road
Not my blood brother
My one with all life brother

My brother had been hit
Or maybe just fell
Where was he going
Who did he leave behind
Is someone grieving

Lost now to those who knew him
But not lost to me
I noticed
I cared
Namaste

Going no where
while reaching for everything.
Sailing through life
as if nothing and at the same time everything matters.
Ooohhh what a life.

I catch a ride on a swing
feeling the breeze in my hair
floating like a butterfly.
If I jump
will I land on my knees or
fall splat like a limp rag?

I read books like a maniac
then climb the highest boulder and proclaim
I'm the Queen of my Kingdom!
Twirl and swirl until I fall in a heap,
excited and dizzy
looking up at the moon.

Fly to the stars
on the back of a Griffin
the thrill and the rush of it all!
Next I earn three degrees
then hitch hike all through Spain.
What could be better than helping out where I stay?

Disjointed is this?
Yeah to be sure, but what do you expect when
going nowhere
while reaching for everything.
Sailing through life
as if nothing and at the same time everything matters.
Ooohhh what a sweet life.
