what your circumstances make you
is what you will likely one day become
whether it be a man on the moon
an architect to the age or
a mere scholar of sums
a bleak existence today does not
necessarily constitute failure tomorrow
though some would find it easier to choose
this not to believe
man is such a fearful changeling
his life's pace holds no true set course
nor simple guarantees
he is at one with nature though he chooses
to set himself far, far above
he, like many other three dimensional forces
still fall prey to the inner will of the
sanctuary of love
acceptance of one's peers is an astronomical
force with an unexplainable pull of its own
the rule of thumb is that no man is a mountain
who can for very long stand alone
there are examples of course that could make one
believe otherwise
but these are sparse exceptions to such said
rule and their accounts score many diversified
replies
'The Habit Of Years' can often weigh heavily upon
he who fears the unknown gales of change
but stand to listen to the voice of better
judgment sailing in its winds
and the path of one's life will regenerate itself
to face the will that it possesses to want to
rearrange
leaving one's new found direction not to seem
so unspecified and vague
the obscure in turn will come into life
and old frustrations will wake to have their say
and the divine peace that resides in all of us
will bloom to out grow all our previous doubts
though sometimes it all seems a little too rough
fear not
for the road to your inner self
has many, many inspiring routes
and all lead to a calmer, brighter and much, much
finer version of you
your soul, the true essence of you..............
