waves crash in an eternal struggle to climb up
on the shore.
some watch and wonder from where
they come.
some look on and wonder where
they go.
and still others simply play
in them.
ask of the wave as it struggles and it will answer -
it matters not from where
i came.
it matters not where
i go.
all that matters
is now.
seek not the past, the past is not with
you now.
your past is unfaithful, it has left you
yet again
as you read these
words.
reconcile
the past and move
on.
take a breath
.
we imagine how we wish to
be perceived,
then we chase our imagination in a race
to become -
all the while secretly harboring our
own discontent
that we cannot be as we
perceive ourselves,
as we pretend for others -
that we
truly
are.
waste no more time trying to
become
that which you
perceive
you should be, and truly could
never become-
even by your own
measure,
and to your own
satisfaction.
and the future?
let the future make itself
perception is perception.
reality is reality.
resolve to be yourself -
nobody else
will.
not the self you
perceive;
you should be, just
yourself.
it is all much easier
when a person
can just
be...

The message is really very sweet (it's how I've lived most of my life); in the present, not looking back, not looking ahead (but I have to get this through my head, "If you fail to plan, you're planning to fail.") I think that's the second time I've said this on the site. Horrible truth, but it is the truth... To be ourselves... that is nice too, it's what we'd ALL like to hear... this whole poem is what we'd all like to hear... I really liked it, my only concern is that now I just want to sit and stop trying... » Reply to this comment...  04-17-2008 10:45, This was very powerful. Makes a person stop and think.

It helps me with some of my present day issues. I got to favorite this one. » Reply to this comment... |
