The movie never ends and it just
goes on and on and on and we
make the same mistakes over
and over again.

No apologies or excuses when
we can finally decide that our
life is our own and we alone
are responsible for the quality
of it and it is then that we
discover what an amazing
journey it is and it is then
that our life begins.

Limited because we always
seem to limit ourselves to what
we are told or to what is bought
and sold and what we can do
with what society tells us is
right or wrong so we just keep
replaying the same old song.

Images are given to us when
we are young about what is
right and what is wrong so we
sing their song until me are
mature enough to make our
own decisions that bring the
best results.

For the best we try to make
our life but sometimes we don't
count on the heart interfering
with our direction and playing
a major part  in our decisions
that we choose and this
sometimes causes us to go
wrong and we lose.

But by our mistakes we can
hope to get stronger
and realize that it is not
about how long we are here
but it is about what
we leave and how long
our legacy will last.

Eternity has no mass or no
dimensions but it lasts forever
and you can't hold it but you
can feel it as it just goes on
and on.

You can steer yourself in any
direction that you choose
because you are on your own
in this movie and only you can
choose where to go but you
should know that every challenge
be it great or small moves you
to look deeper and draw forth
the highest in you.

Burning and freezing at the
same time sometimes your
guarded heart sees defeat
but the feeling of love still
lingers in the heart but you
have to realize that it is gone
and you can't turn back and
the hours are not really ours
but only borrowed yet we
pretend to spend them.                            Jon York             2012
