A life journey

caught between want and get
life's puzzle pieces hard to fit
dreams to dreams is the flow
which direction shall it go
running in place at the gate
choosing sides to make our fate
ties of past and pain can you cut
how I feel truth deep in my gut
trying to see a future clear
seems so magnified through a tear
fling to a journey in life to take
to ease this pain that makes me ache
within this passage let me find
comfort in and peace of mind

The message is wonderful and you know, I never rhymed anything with "gut" but you did it well!!!

I have to agree with rich---life does indeed have so much to teach us--or is that we stubbornly just have so much to learn? Over and over again until we finally "get it."

Nice write.

Beauty in these words and such truth

"trying to see a future clear
seems so magnified through a tear.."


Wonderful thoughts to ponder. Great read.
