As I sit and look around the restaurant, I see people from different kinds of life, One lonely , the man eating by himself, caught my eye, as my mind began to spy, My mind thought of his sorrow, his loneliness, no one to share love or life, no wife, How sad i felt for him, then I noticed a family with children, happy and glad There at another table was a young couple, enjoying the first stages of love and romance, how every look of her was caught inside his glance, In the middle of the restaurant was an older couple with friends, hair was grey with silver strands, My mind escaped, went deeper into thought, noises going on around me,I was there, but in a trance, a stare, the deeper I pondered, the deeper I thought, Then it all came to me, every stage of human life was represented there for me to see, Every person represented a stage of life we all go through, from the beginning to end, The food was buffet, represented the many choices or paths we take or who we may choose as friends or partners, Then i sat there looking at me, Who was I? What stage was I in? where was I going? what will I be? Will I be lonely like the one sitting alone? will I have many friends like the older couple? or will I be in love like the younger couple sharing thier icecream cone? Choices in life are like food, we choose to eat sometimes without thinking or blinking, Sometimes we do think and eat, the food tastes good for the moment but becomes sour later, deceit, When we don't think at all, we eat and make bad choices, one bad choice leads to another, funny how one choice started so small, Then there is the right choice, the happy choice, we eat, we are satisfied, we are happy and the choice was what we needed, the fulfillment, the hunger receeded, The last choice is to eat and eat but still hunger for more, can't be happy, always angry, empty, making more trips than before, Nothing tastes right, everything is wrong, your life is like a sad love song, Irionic, I thought as I ate my food from my plate, I was happy, I came, my need was filled, and I didn't need anymore, I was, sure...so sure... The food was great, the day was beautiful, and it is funny how a trip to a chinese restaurant gave me more than I had came for, Gave me food for my belly, but food for thought!
