choices.

the consequences of our choices

sometimes we are so blind

cannot see what is right in front of us

sometimes we get time to work it out

to think it through

before the effect has unfolded

we are the cause

and the effect will come

the revelation of our seeds

is on many different levels

it always comes

and i suppose it is right

how ever hard or soft that is

appropriate

right for the act

applied to the action

price

prices and prizes

maybe that is what it depends on

what is in your heart

your hearts desire

once you see

how soon you see

you decide

you go on or turn around

and then you live where you've invested

and it becomes your life

how do you know

what the differences are

questioning

questioning

and then knowing

only knowing as a sense

of being on the right path

because how much do you ever really know

only what is in your heart

there are some things

that cannot be known

but that you can only be aware of

i suppose this all goes back to truth

and the absolute and subjective

both exist to define and clarify

wonder

wander-lust

adventure

curiosity

ambition

direction

love

beauty

pain

driving you to go out again

go inside again

and continue

to live

and be grateful

and realize

you are exactly where you are

because

it is what you wanted

in some way

aware of it or not

until you find yourself

and know

that it makes sense

for you

and there is

peace

hoping we have the desire

to see what is there

hoping that i can find

my own truth

and happiness

hoping i can

be myself

and be free

 

why can't people be honest with each other

instead of hurting each other

admit to mistakes

and forgive

try to adjust and make the right choices

we just don't always get it right the first, second

or third times

if we do

then great, if we don't

let's all be gentle with one another

let life be what it is

cherish

respect

good intentions

good wishes

strength

wisdom of the heart

being able to

calm the darkness

embrace it

compose it

inclusion of both sides

into one that resonates

your being

a hope

a prayer for living every day

so the inside

can nourish the outside

there can be worth

and contribution

which flows inside

and outside and back again

beginnings

endings

i don't know

but i think there aren't

there are circles

going around

that is the sound

of now

the place i am to be

that is

where i belong
