Existence
2/28/2012

As one nears
the memory of
a time so distant.
The day allocated to remembering
when one took their first breath.
Did you laugh or cry?
Were you cute or silly?

No, you don't remember.
That day so long ago.
When the world was asked to wait
wait while you grew up.
Somedays you threw up.
Others you laughed and played.

Always your thoughts
were elsewhere, never here.
Never now.
They were always looking
looking for tomorrow.

As time went on and seemed to pass you by
you stood and wondered what it would be like to fly?
Still as a child,
the other kids, laughed, cried, and played.
While you were alone and dismayed.

The times seems so simple
there was nothing every wrong
and all was right.
No one could have possibly understood
your plight.
You were a child, one who's mind
had taken flight.
You left the confines of your body
to exist beyond space and time.
For when you were there
held in the confines of physical form
life was sour like a lime.

No one knew
where your mind flew.
No one knew why it flew.
Just take a breath and breathe a sigh.
For the life was a lie.

That life is dead.
There's nothing more to dread.
Yes, maybe some regrets.
These are things can never be corrected.
Maybe jealous of those gone on.
Maybe a little wishful thinking
of wishing what it'd be like
to exist in the great beyond.
Yet, so long ago.
You wanted nothing more to be
free from the cloak of childhood.
And, you wish
for the times when
For now just go curl up in your den.

Let the days go by.
Stop wondering why.
Stop dreaming  and wishing you could fly.
Let the todays go.
And use all that you know.

It maybe hard alone.
Yet, it's what you
learned to live by.
There's no other
that can truly understand
where it is you've been
where you've gone
what you've done
and where you wish to go.
So, for now,
just go with the flow.
Let time slip by.
and then maybe
you'll learn to fly.
And if not.
That's o.k. too.
For the tomorrows
may or may not be for you.
Yet, somehow,
you'll know what to do.
