2022 Rubicon’s Duality
To have been there often,
Done that often,
Got the message often,
Got the lesson often,
Found sorrow disruptive often,
Discovered order again often,
Understood how security in happiness works,
Reflected on the long distance
To go a short way
Not often enough perhaps,
Yet, this time…
The patience of wisdom awaited
On the other side of the Rubicon’s crossing,
Making clear that innominate
And precipitous twists and turns of the line
Need not be antithetical to destiny’s design.
Acceptance is finally being embraced.
"Reflected on the long distance
to go a short way." I forgot that one but makes your poem memorable for what this paradox really says.
