No matter what careers we choose some don't turn out as we'd expect
One day those perfect fitting shoes no longer seem right anymore
Examining the past for clues may give us pause while we reflect
yet in the end we're ushered through again another open door

That is to say perhaps we've not the choices that we thought we had
For voices in our heads may plot and lead us to the launching pad
of still another journey knowing not its' point of origin
by speaking to that yearning in us all that says we must begin...

anew. The chalk-board staring blank. A vessel empty
waiting there
Our thoughts, the fuel to make it fly as E does equal MC squared
But one equation in a host that clamor to be recognized
and this perhaps our only means to see if we were meant to fly

No matter what careers we choose some don't turn out as we'd expect
We write to keep new goals in view, where voices lead us, I suspect.

*giggling* not what I expected at all....much better in fact. It is so true. Life is filled with so many choices and the results of them are unknown to us until we make them. Keeps life interesting.   I love the way you put it in this poem. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

You've been re-treading old tires again?  I didn't know that was still going on!

Anywhooo...I too was pondering if this poem was going to be about that toy guy..uh..Buzz Lightyear??? I was wrong..glad..  What can I say...I have two children so it was my first impression when reading the title.

This poem has a deep seeded meaning in it for you...I can see that you could have gone further...insted, you chose to leave almost a pause...leaving room for the reader to think of their own lives.  I like it.
