The Choices We Make

My 50th poem!

I wrote a poem for a guest post I did for Carol Graham's blog Battered Hope early this month. Thought I would share it here as well.

I wrote this poem on the bus on the way to work. Observing people on the bus and outside on the streets was the inspiration for this poem.

We reach our destinations

In our own time and way

Many stops at many stations

Sometimes we go, sometimes we stay

Many points of destiny

Some choices we can make

Don't give it too much scrutiny

There's always give and take

All things in life must balance

No constant joy or sorrow

Most things are not a game of chance

In His plan we trust and follow.

Verse First - Just past the centre
We are, now, just past September's center. Funny way to look at a span of time, from the center. But that is exactly what I want you to do. Look at something, anything really, from just past center. It could be your life, your kitchen table or even a task at hand. It could be your equilibrium, your goals, a relationship or... Whatever you choose, write a poem from the perspective of Just past center.

GBE2 - Imperfection

All things must balance

That's my belief

Life's like a dance

Unbalanced it's grief

Sometimes a new venture

Swings left, then right

Just past centre

No use being uptight

A little imperfection

Much easier to achieve

It's a matter of perception

And what you believe

All things must balance

The ride up and down

Life needs an easy stance

Smile, don't frown

Poetry Jam - Battles

Mind is a battlefield

Of earthly understanding

Heart is a vault unsealed

Of Divinity enchanting

Sometimes the mind wins

It's morality's tool

It keeps us from sins

And within earthly rules 

But the heart is blissful

It tolerates the mind

Its connection is universal

Invisible and kind

There's balance in life

When mind and heart agree

Then our journey is free of strife

And the spirit is free

Mind is a battlefield

Of earthly understanding

Heart is a vault unsealed

Of Divinity enchanting

Paying it forward
