LESSONS

Life is most certainly
A course in survival,
Life can be frightening,
Not nearly as kind,
Or as gentle, or caring
As we would
Wish it to be.

Give and take
In our life,
A wonderful concept,
Although taking more,
And giving less
Can create problems.
And our values,
Our 'SELF',
Can be mortally lost
Or jeopardized,
By misunderstanding
And gross misuses.

Life is certainly
A lesson, in patience.
In looking at options,
Making choices.
Life is,
Regardless, of wrong twists
And crazy turns,
An attractive alternative
To sitting by the wayside
Waiting for IT to happen,
While being totally unaware
Of just what IT is.

We are the adventurers
On our own voyages of life,
We take many wrong ways
To the right path,
We are the seekers
On a treasure hunt for
Inner peace and awareness.

I am an enigma, even unto myself.
A puzzle unsolved, a mystery maybe until beyond death. ©das

SPIRIT: It's certainly true that life is all the things you outline in your poem. I enjoyed reading it.

As your poem implies, Life is a Great adventure, and I am truly convinced that what we have already experienced (the lessons learned) are relatively small compared to what adventures still lie ahead in our futures.

Thank you. Again, I enjoyed your poetry.
