Poem Artwork

It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities .....JK Rowling


OLDER AND WISER
 
 
If I could somersault through time
 On a backward spin
To make a forward landing
And have  life rebegin
 
To take that primal breath
But with instinct's archived heart
To be aware and living
To know life from the start
 
How would I take advantage
What would I change or keep
And would I have the option
To sow and not reap
 
While here I stand with priviledge
Advantaged choice I waste
For here on every second
I HAVE a choice to make

There's always that famous question...do you believe in fate. I do, but I also believe our choices alter fate. This poem reminds me of the Domino effect that our choices make. Great write:) Love and Hugs,

all of fate stems on those decisions--- which leads me to believe that fate must not exist-- or does it? --Charlie

decisions, decisions... however long we got, there are too many options... which increase the more we linger... Older means bolder, I reckon! Perfect and effortless rhythm and rhyme as always. xx

You are right, a choice every moment. Now that is a sobering thought and a fine poem A.

If you pushed a little harder with those legs in the picture, you might make that somersault...;-) Ed

I think we all have some things in our we would change if we could butt that is human, the thing is to accept where we are today.

We do make our lives as we see fit. Everyone can try a little harder to be a better person, but some are so depressed and downhearted they don't even try. Those I try to stay away from. Your write is uplifting and good advice too.

Well done, really great poem. The ancient philosopher Horace said it best: "Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant. So we keep right on going...

Lovely Write... I like it. With every sunrise is a new beginning in forward motion. Live it wisely, TAKING an advantage is not necessary. This is only my perspective. Warmth and Love to you. Carin' Spirit
