L ife is balance
the keeping of it
the regaining of it
when lost
that is my resolve
in this new year
to live life more balanced
to continue to explore
how to live on the positive side
of this profound mystery
that is life
this mystery
we are not meant to solve
I will not lose my wonder
I will continue to dream
though I will surely
temper my dreams
it is the winter of my life
I seek achievable dreams
because I seek the joy
of achievement
that to-the-bone-satisfaction
I want to love better
love born of the heart
love born of the soul
beyond love of the body
been there
done that
genuine love
I am convinced
is the gateway
to the great mystery
that is life
I still pursue that mystery
in the end
love is all I need
the love I know
is the love I show
the love I take
is the love I make
I want to learn
how to truly share
pure love
to love with gratitude
to love in peace
just as the butterfly
lights upon the petal
I want to learn
how to hold love
tenderly
not grasp love
not smother love
love is the truth
I seek truth
love maintains the balance
I seek balance
as I walk my final path
through the beauty of life
the bottom line
I seek to live
until this season turns
from there
we’ll see where it goes
