caught in the moment


How difficult at times it can be to wait ever so patiently

 Not to send a message direct or veiled

Not to remind, not to say a word

How sad it can be to have to remain still

just so nothing can be read as too strong a will

Not to manipulate in any way

Not to do anything but stay

How vital it can be to remain true to yourself in all things you do

Not to compromise your ideals

Not to let on how it feels ....to be you.

Take your time, remember your youth

Look into your heart, ask who you are

Examine your mind, seek your own truth

Step out of your world, see from afar

Detach...then determine how to follow your star.

as any seeker of truth knowns. Bravo, Regina!

This is truly an introspective and honest questioning,
that can be of benefit to all readers, as well.
We have to step back, and view things objectively, before
we can go forward again.
