Complete As Is

Maybe the time has passed

And I never noticed its going.

Too busy with life as it is now,

Than to worry what might have slipped by.

 

I'm sure there is much I have missed,

But since its gone I haven't noticed its passing.

We can't grab that which we can't see,

Or worry about what it is that was lost.

 

I've never flown in a plane, ever.(I have)

Yet I know it would be a great thrill to do.

I never climbed a high mountain(I have)

Or breathe in that frosty clear air.

 

Yet I haven't missed it at all,

And I know I can still do it if I want.

But my life seems complete without it,

So why look for what I don't need.

Great thoughts, George
not to worry about what
you have not done, but
being grateful for having
done what you have..

When old age or disability prevent us from getting “out there,” we can always rely on our memories, reading, or in my case, the magic of cable television, to take us out to places and do things we've never seen or done, while relying on our early experience to make sure that those “cool” images are real. For me, I much rather enjoy the “hot” imagery of writing because it keeps those young juices flowing in me long after their appointed time.

I think you're describing contentment, George. It's a grace and a great gift if you can manage it - but great sorrow dogs those who 'have it all' sometimes and yet still feel the emptiness of a lingering dissatisfaction. Wisdom and happiness are in your lines... :) xx

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
