we’d live in
if love were simple
if smiles were genuine
if the right words were said
if hearts cherished wisdom
if questions found answers
if duties were done
if tears were dried
if minds sought truth
------------
We learn little by little
what we never would have known
had we stayed content
blinded by what we liked
but restless still, always
we learn by experience
what we can never express
yet always feel
hearts change
habits mould
thoughts are established
ways conform
minds are blended
in little ways
big ways become
---------------
I toss my mind
back and forth
between the sane
and the insane
only seeking best
between joy and mirth
chastens and criticisms
yearnings and independence
oh fickle eyes
find a resting place
if you would
if only you could
---------------
Yet, for once in my life
joy is graspable.
no longer the wispy thing
there,
but intangible
now I feel it
I see it
I can describe it
and trace it’s pattern
through everyday
and every moment
it’s a sweet draught
I take now
