AROUND THE CORNER

by @wichitarick

AROUND THE CORNER Has it all really ended this way ,so abrupt ,did we ever believe there were proper rules Starting with a simple path ,looking out ,moving on ,no reasons to fear Trails & trials, simplest of words bunched into files, merely collecting samples some basic others held as jewels Wading forward, occasionally stuck in the muck & mire,when slipping in time, switch a gear Why bother to say it if you weren't going to play it ,lessons in hindsight so often overlooked Final finish came without notice, leaving reversal irrelevant,left with simple knowledge of each day we should revere Mid life not in crisis but simple evaluation can be revealing, merely more pages to read in hopefully a longer book Full circle, 360 degrees what is the comparison for completion,which direction are we supposed to stear Wink,blink or a nod ,fast & faster is how long time may last ,did we remember to listen to that babbling brook Unknown with a scent of caution, but not using true fear to take another swath Greatest gorge to minor indent, move forward with strong intent,pure beauty when found will become quite clear.

Notes

Thoughts on not knowing that infamous "what is next" but also thinking myself & watching a 19yr. old run wild:) do we just get lucky for some of out behaviours? But did try to write this in reverse? not sure how that worked? Any thoughts & your reading this are much appreciated. Rick
