"Feeling good about being now"


Poem Artwork

Here We Are Again

for my fellow survivors

We suffer in this life but not in vain

The most important things we learn
We learn by accident
Each of us could have gotten killed
Yet here we are somehow

"Better to marry than to burn"
And other odd advice
Whether misunderstood or meant
Was our hard way to learn
Requiring virgin sacrifice

There is where our youth went

It took the skills of our most skilled
Attorneys and physicians
Scratching their heads at our limitations
Matching them though through their ministrations
To barely squeak us out of some
Tight spots and awkward situations

Like being strapped to gurneys now
And then along the way
In ambulances to the promised land
Learning hard lessons of the day
Through occasional crackups in both kinds
Crackups of bodies and crackups of minds

We have been overcome but we have overcome
And having overcome what overcame us
We came through what we thought was hell
And we came through it pretty well
We might be stubborn but we understand
And nobody else survived to blame us

So... here we are again

Whether meant or misunderstood
Feeling good about being now
Being well and doing well by doing good
Seeing the universe by giving a hand
Freeing the multiverse by taking a stand

Falling or diving in any case arriving
Being and seeing and freeing ourselves to
Keep having accidents and learning as we do
The most important things we ever knew

A little wiser... here we are again

Steven, I like this well written perspective on the reality of it all. When you boil it down to what is important, it has to be this moment, this hour, this day... nothing else matters.

Cheers, and thank you for writing,
Dan
