Sometimes
you follow your dreams
Sometimes
you do not
Sometimes
you’re lost
looking for the way
And
Sometimes
you feel the love
that
helps you, guides you
on
your way.

Sometimes the truth
hurts
and
not the best thing
to hear.
Sometimes its good
to accept the truth
as it is
as it seems.
Sometimes you can
make the truth
the truth you need
to embrace
and
to believe.

I seek but will I find
The lost, hidden
The divine.
No path is shown
No way is clear
Trudging onward
Holding on to thoughts
Of what may be
Near.
Maybe passed by
Shrugged off
Not
Realizing
Sometimes
Good things
Stand
Being there for me
To embrace
Hiding
In
Plain sight.

I watch the squirrels fight
edging out one another
for a place at the feeder
for
just another bite.
Sometimes
there’s a truce
Sometimes
a bitter fight
Sometimes
a lone squirrel
eats
til he feels suffice.
Birds keep their distance
stay out of the fight
they wait their turn
a time when
all others have had their fill
All’s quiet
No more anger
No more strife.

Sometimes
I feel life holding me
embracing, protecting me
Then
I’m invincible
then I can do anything
Yes
when life is holding me.

When things become
Hectic
And out of place
Step back, deep breath in
Move slowly
At a snail’s pace.
The welcoming of plenty
The loss of all things
filled with empty
Can sometimes overwhelm you
Leaving only a place crazily
Hectic.

Of course you don’t know
The sadness, the heartache
I shouldn’t know.
You see the life
That seems to glow.
Sometimes it’s a lie
Sometimes you see I cry
But
Then if course
You don’t know.

Seeking much
Getting none
My mistake
Going round
Going forward
Backward
Sometimes means
I’ll accomplish what I seek
Repeating what I’ve done
Perfecting what I’ve been
Deep breath in
Air billowing out
I live
I am everything
I’m about.
