Forever In Your Heart

0 posted 2007-05-24 09:14 AM



There comes a time,
when all logic and reason is lost,
actions happen without forethought.

When sanity becomes insanity,
tiredness of life, rountine,
what you wouldn't do, you do.

Something pushes you beyond,
boundaries set, emotions
run wild, overwhelming you.

Then you try to make sense of it all,
was it anger, resentment, expression
of freedom, longing to get out?

Sometimes this is a paradox,
it could be for the better,
or it could work for the worse.

Choosing to do nothing,
you become numb, nothing,
without new experiances.

Sometimes it is a mistake made,
lessons learned, for future
reference.

Sometimes it becomes the right
choice, working to the good,
a new job, a new relationship.

It all comes to one thing,
choice, what you do with it,
life is all about the choices
we make.

'Life' does eventually 'get away from us all'!

I believe this is the very best 'write' I have seen
from this author! [MUCH here to think about and enjoy!]

sustained applause!!
