"...the great lesson that life while not fair / Is full of surprise for curious eyes"
Surprised
If I ever had anything to lose I probably would have lost it by now If I was once given the chance to choose I might well have made the wrong choice somehow Sure made my share of mistakes anyway Forgotten now (don't mind doesn't matter) I just look back and laugh at this late hour Having developed a taste for surprise
I never really had much of a say Not being one of the ones with the power Just picked up such crumbs as fate might allow Went hungry as the fat cats got fatter Did what I thought was my best every day Picked up a few tricks between there and here Learned the great lesson that life while not fair Is full of surprise for curious eyes
It surprises me to be anywhere After years of seemingly meaningless Ins and outs and ups and downs and sideways Adventures so I can handle I guess Such phantasmagoric frolicsome days As I might endure as I know for sure Mortality's a disease with no cure Except to let go: to let go of fear
I just look back and laugh at this late hour Surprised to be one of the ones with the power
Tremendously written and though prvoking too. I might mention that mortality is a disease with no cure for the body but not for the spirit. You and I share a lot in common. I guess you reach an age when looking back seems to span more than time than we can expect lookng forward. At least that is so in this mortal body. My spirit will not tell me what it sees. I must take that on faith.
I enjoyed this write.
