It Is What It Is

Copyright 2003 by:  Mark V Sheldon


It is what it is
And no more shall it be
For what it once was
Is over, you see

It is what it is
Though it should have been more
For once it was here
And now is no more

It was what it was
And now, there it is
For that's how it goes
And that's how it is

Before it was that
But now it is this
For all that it was
It is what it is...

Hiya, Nancy:  ...but if you did recite it, it may come across kind of like a Dr. Seuss diddy...  Thank you for smile.

Bill:  just another paradox -- it is what it is but at the same time, so much more...

Thank you, Maureen -- that's a mighty nice compliment.  This one almost wrote itself today -- after a tempermental drought...

Sandra -- you made me laugh there with a "DOH!"  I know you know it as well as I do...  Ah, serenity...
Hugs to you, friend...

MVS: I'm keeping this one.
        It is what is
        And that may be
        But within these words
        Means more things to me
I love the style, form, and flow of your writes.I always look forward to reading more from you.

BE
who and where YOU ARE
in this moment
as it
envelops
then and now
and is carried
forward


Mark...loved where this one took my mind.

It is what it is, or what was and is nevermore...or something like that ...confused as a termite in a yo-yo. Nah..just kidding. I had to giggle reading this. I know what you mean. It is what it is! hehehe To the point...!

Kacy, that is the aspiration, but in this ever-changing stream of consciousness named life, it's always a tug of war between was and will be with me as the fulcrum...  Can't forget to remind myself to remember to think about the wisdom you speak...

SharaRose -- I'll bet your giggle is as cute as your response.
