Silently sitting on the edge of my bed Staring at everything and nothing all at once Whirlwinds of ideas and thoughts fly through my head Starting at the sound of a dog barking I try and remember Remember what I was thinking? Relive the past? No, I had done that too many times before I had been dreaming. Dreaming of the world. My World. I look at my humble pieces of furniture and plan I collect my wits and imagine a future job Anything will do, as long as there's enough pay Smiling I think of a man I had been chatting with lately. John. Yes, he seemed almost too perfect We carry on like anyday we'll meet and live happily ever after. Ahhh.. happiness. The core of the soul. The one thing we strive towards in Life. Tragedies and trauma only interfere slightly There's always a way. The Way. And happiness is it. Lessons learned so we may move towards a common goal. And everyone has the same one. Its competition in my World. Battles to be won. Things to overcome. Victories to celebrate. In time, all these will come together. As I once heard it cleverly spoken: Love will Prevail. Yes, I know it will. Smiling I look outside at the sun illuminating the disappearing snow. Fair weather is in store. All this, you will see, will come together. |
