Choices Unknown
By Graywolf 9/27/2012.
Choices,
choices we face,
we go, we leave,
we come back,
Wondering
always wondering
is there something we lack.
Alone the choices we must face.
So many possibilities
upon some so much importance
we place.
Whether tomorrow or today,
who knows whether we'll work or play.
Do we choose it to be a good or bad day?
Do we choose to accept or deny this day?
So many options so many choices.
Only one is available to be chosen.
So many of the choices are exclusive.
Which ones do we regret,
which ones do we move forward
knowing we've made the best choice.
How far down the path is too late to turn back?
There's so much I lack.
Insufficient information to know where to go.
What to do.
Choices are alone amongst many.
They are just like you and me.
There may be many a friend,
many a person, even a puppy
there to comfort and support.
Ultimately I must be me, I must live with myself.
And that's why so many times I wish
I could place all my choices upon a dusty old shelf.
Let them be, forget them, and move on.
A'las this choice is the least desirable of them all.
The choices before me are difficult to understand and see.
I'm so free and carefree, yet, so conflicted with what choices
want me to choose them.
Maybe the whole world awaits, maybe I have no choice
and it's all up in the hands of the fates.
The future unknown, the past overwith,
only the present to contend with.
Alone I face what is now.
Sometimes I wish I could just take a bow.
Receive a mild applause and move behind the curtain
and simply disappear into what is beyond.
Yet that choice, is unchoosable and unknowable.
Everything so uncertain, I'm lost, to try to understand
what should be done.

Leave Takings
Leave Takings

What to say when it's time to say goodbye.
I'm not sure why, why not give a new try?
Why is it I thought your words were true.
I never thought this of you.
Indications were few.
A'las it's time
to accept it's time to go.
I don't understand and I don't know.
The world now seems so small.
So insignificant.
All I want is to see the universe.
The unexplored areas of space and time.
You opened my mind.
to these possibilities.
Someday soon, I hope I can fly.
I hope to see
something way more than you or me.
Alone or together it doesn't matter.
Without anyone to hold me back
I know I can go a lot further.
It's what gives me the the strength
to risk the great unknown.
Alone I can go so much further.
Don't worry, things will be better!
Maybe I'll get to see our savior.
Maybe I'll waive
waive to the angels.
As I pass by heaven.
I'll avoid the black depths of hell.
Oh don't worry I'll gain so many secrets.
There will be no one to tell.
And when, I reach the edge of the universe.
That invisible line between now and infinity.
I'll take another journey.
My destination is unknown.
It might even be crazy!
Don't worry I won't be lazy!!
So, I understand why you had to take your leave.
It's hard for me to believe.
I hope the best for only the best.
I have been the least.
I'll have a grand feast.
When the time is right.
I know you'll take flight.
And maybe one night,
You'll stop by.
And together we can share.
Share what it is that happened.
The mysteries of the universe will be known.
For you were the greatest mystery to me.

Friends
Well, this is just a narrative. I don't get life sometimes. I realize friends come and go and that's just part of life. But, it's the quality of people and the friends we keep in our lives that help determine the quality we have and I would hope we in term as friends help determine the quality of other's lives.
Several good, what I thought were friends, more or less, betrayed me by simply saying good bye. That they don't have time for me. Betrayed is a strong word, but, I'm not sure how to describe it. We shared a lot, we went through similar circumstances, and trusted each other. To just up and say goodbye seems rather belittling of a friendship.
I don't claims to be perfect. I have my own issues and I'm not afraid to admit that. I still value the people in my life. I take no one and nothing for granted. I don't know what I've done to deserve this, if I had done or said anything that would drive these people away. I would understand and agree with them and learn from it. However, to just tell me I don't have time to be your friend, doesn't tell me anything other than I'm not important. I'm not so arrogant as to think I'm the best thing since sliced bread. However, I like to think at the very least I offer positive encouragement, support, and build up others.
That I respect myself and others. That I would do anything for my friends. I can't do anything to change anyone's mind. I just wish people had the guts to tell me how I screwed up, if I screwed up. Telling me they don't have time for me doesn't tell me anything. It certainly doesn't explain why I suddenly have no priority in their lives. I didn't ask to be a high priority and never thought of myself as a high priority in my friend's lives. However, nothing is said to indicate why I'm no longer any priority. Why I deserve to just removed from the list of priorities.
If this has taught me anything, it has taught me to value the short time people are in my life. One never knows when others will leave my life just because they feel like it. I will cherish the time I have with any friends. For, life is ever changing and people will always come and go!
