Today I sit and ponder
Of all that is my life
Of work and friends and family
Of my dear and loving wife

I ponder of my future
I don't worry of the past
That's all done and dusted
And it all went by so fast

I used to have a vision
But, that has long since died
I came close to achieving
And god, you know I tried

I ponder where I'd be right now
If just one thing had changed
How would my life be different?
If my life was rearranged

I ponder, but it's useless
My life is great as is
I cannot do much better
I'm happy with all this

I've got all that I can wish for
And I wouldn't change a bit
For now, my life is perfect
So, I ponder ....while I sit

I squished a bug
rubbed him out of existence with my thumb
quick, minimal, forgettable experience

I wonder,
are people like that?
Am I like that?

You can go your own way
Or you can follow me
You can choose to go, or choose to stay
With one note, there's no harmony

Choose to live or choose to be
Choose to act or choose to sleep
Blind yourself with fake reality
Or embrace the Truths that make you weep

Whatever you decide, here and now
Whatever road you choose to take
Whatever why or where or how
I'll stand with you for both our sakes

Cause though the world around may fall
Hold your head high, stand up tall
But don't forget the power of two
Together, we can make it through

So Trust in me, wise gracious friend
Trust that love will never end
Trust in darkness, Trust in light
Trust the blinding, blissful bright

Where two are gathered, joined as one
Bright shining as the noonday sun
A third arrives, and there abides
The Lord, Our God, is by our side

We two are misfits, rare and wild
Ragged nobles, oft reviled
We face the current, brave the gale
Our faces calm; we will prevail

Thus the end is nigh upon us
Daylight rushes into night
Silence now, lugubrious
We face East; we wait for Light

We've all got time to
Sit.
Wait.
Ponder.

But everybody's time is different.
Sometimes we use our time to
Ponder.
Sit.
Wait

Or maybe
Wait.
Ponder.
Sit.

The truth is, whether we make our time to fit either third category,
We all still have time to do them.
Time to sit down and wait for the time that pondering
Just becomes a figment
Of our imagination.

Make up, on silk clothes
And those crazy one stand offs
And the times of soggy sandwhiches
And the years in our hair,
Could have been the tears from our tongues

The thing that conquers me the most
Is the things we cannot achieve,
The notches in and under our sleeves
The nights we conceive, the things we never need
The winds and the trees,
Its time to remember, nights like these

I was on my 2㏂ thoughts,
And it was all about you.
I wonder how have you been.
Whole day without me,
Perhaps the best time of yours
and better than the idea of "us".
The picture of it made myself cry to sleep.
A sleep of sorrow forced to repress ──
*heavyhearted, depressed, low-spirited
Am working on the second part of this piece and it is about the misadventures of repressed emotion. Hope it will end up as I wanted it to be.

I ponder my life
as I sit at my desk
My pen the knife
The paper the bread

To feed my mind
what is needs
but my hand is in a bind
I can't seem to move

I need to write these words
A blank letter
Open window singing of the birds
Paper so bright white

These words I must cut
onto the paper
climb out of this rut
onto the paper

I carve

'I Love You'

But the person it is too
is someone I do not know
for they have changed into someone new

Once more I ponder my life

My pen the knife...
When someone close changes to drastically, you don't recognize them anymore.
Poetria May 2015
We have all the time in the world, we say
But how much time is that anyway?

A world of bloodshed and poverty,
governmental discrimination, and anarchy.

People avoiding this harsh reality,
Our hearts ignoring their silent pleas

No, life is far from being a dream
Our world is tearing at the seams

*Is humanity a miracle
Or disease?

Stirring morning
Open eyes then feel… open ear starts to listen… open mind learn humbly to think and to grasp… open heart with passion to feel… (Continue quietly breathing in and out)… "What that feel deep inside?"
Sensing and intuiting, searching  with all feeling and wits, while heart and mind still clear and unblemished.
Attempting to fly off into the morning wild blue yonder. Once again, no ponder souls' supposing… only relinquish… go beneath the core of being human: "What that feel deep inside me?"
At the culmination, golden morning rays teach, to experience  the surrounds as they are, as gold as they are naked… as warmth as they should be… allow diminishing self-image first to be humble… then I might cloth being in the present and be a friend with I am who I am…
"What that feel deep inside me?"
And I know…
When…
There will be…
