RESOLVE

 

What do you do

With success, with victory, with money?

How do you define these terms?

Do they fit in your life?

         How will your wins affect others?

         And who do you ask for advice –

         Someone more successful than you?

         And have lost as well as won?

Lessons learned without personal loss?

Or is it always new to you

And you need to improvise?

Listen, watch, observe, think.

         Down the road

         A worthy trail left behind

         Looking back, the path appears straight

         Instead of the sharp turns you experienced.

Dreams are more short term

Ahead somewhere in the haze

An unforeseen chasm –

Shall we crash?

Look up and ask

Or leap across the void?

         Daily choices exhaust themselves.

         The view of life becomes consistent.

         All the rough edges smoothed

         The river runs swiftly beside the road

Words run out of meaning

Only said to describe your personal view

No attempts to convince

No knowing expressions

Just calm acceptance
