i am in my own wilderness
in my own territory...where,
my voice should rise above
my mountains and streams
my music should play in every corner
my thoughts should be transparent on the horizon,
everywhere........hidden, or otherwise
i should feel some kind of power,  
as queen of this jungle...

i am in my own kingdom,
i rule...
yet...i know, there's a Presence
something higher than me
patiently  watching me.......waiting,
for me to wake up...open my eyes,
and my mind......be enlightened,
and be able to genuflect...

a never ending want...for renown,
and control...reaches heights,
we always give importance, to
i.....me.....and myself....

i look up to the sky
recognizing One...ever present,
ever patient,
the Omnipotent one...
i bow my head,
i kneel
in humility...

(Utterances)

Year ending brings to mind
past occurrences....
and matching
utterances
::::::::::

...when making quick, vital decisions.....and ambiguity takes center stage:

"what if....."
"****** if you do,
****** if you don't!"

...when angered by uncertainty...and results are no longer important:

"what will be,
will be..."
"come hell
or high waters..."

...when love and reason are conflicting my already confused mind:

"selflessness...
right moment...
patience...
unconditional
hope...love...faith
never hate..."

...when pressed for time...whether i like it or not:

"what then?
give way...
another time?
but, when?
just wait..."

...there is only i, me, myself......to face the consequences...

words....and....me,
through thick and thin...
through life...
cruising.....

...in whatever point i may arrive...there's no turning back...

whatever happens
whichever words are said,
whatever my feelings are,

i start and end my day
with a grateful smile...

i live through each day
....make it through each night...
