Love while it's still an acceptable form of insanity.

The moment
I feel sure
I lament
such certitude
I can't endure

for the window
of my perception
would have been shut
my sense of direction
I would have lost

give me doubt
let me have
questions
unanswered

they shall set me free
as I would be
unencumbered

life is a kaleidoscope
peering through
its prism a new world
is waiting to be discovered

indeed I can't say
or accept--a certain colour
is all I need to define myself
that would be totally absurd

all that's before me
is a challenge and test
I stumble and fall
many events do hurt

but these shall only make me
larger than I could ever be
in the vicissitudes of living
all that which obstructs
I would have conquered.

Don't get upset, Mr Ironside
    my car has caused yours a dent
    you can  easily set it right
    my tools and equipment I'll lend

How and what
could you find
when you have
not stilled your mind?

My kids they need
           bread and butter
           poor as we are
           I have to work harder

What is
is more important-verily-
than what was
and that which is to-be.

Life not viewed
as an erratum
but a window
to become
