Guest Post: Life can be...

Life can be funny

Sometimes cruel,

I was a dreamer while incarcerated at school

Didn't follow any golden rule

Today I desire to be vulnerable.

Can't say I've exactly been around the world

Dug myself a hole, dark & cold.

Should you inquire "did you find your gold?"

'S here in my heart when I break down my wall,

Life can be hard, be a ball or mundane.

It's what I make it,

Nothing ventured, nothing gained,

Not even going to try to explain.

My pain and the strains of journeying on in years

N' all my baggage so overflowing with fears.

Today's a new one, so I'll be the best I can be

There are plenty of changes to make being me.

Gotta take it easy to a degree

The other side of the coin is

Approach the situation more aggressively.

No spring chicken, still got heaps to get done

Nose to the grindstone still can be fun.

Gratitude is good attitude

I've heard time and time again

Into every life comes a bit of rain.

Climbed a few mountains,

Some mole hills too,

Find there's always new horizons to pursue.

Peaks and passes, need a new pair of glasses

Enjoying the journeying is from where gratitude springs.

I imagine myself in my place in the sun

No place to go, except where I am.

Excited by the achievement in writing it down

The closeness and enjoyment

Tears of a clown.

Life can be funny...

Peculiar.
