There are many times
in the crazy life we lead,
we will receive clues,
of what may lay ahead.

We have options,
but we may not see,
or anticipate,
what they mean, to thee.

We must take action,
reviewing the facts,
if we are to succeed,
in our life's acts.

I see myself,
wanting to return,
to the days when,
I was an introvert.

Have I been in this
life too many years?
Have I developed a feeling,
with innate fears?

Fear of not being loved,
by others, my friends.
Do I need to apologize
and make amends,

for being a person,
a personality facade.
Don't care to read about
that big fraud.

When the small hand,
is half past six,
and I'm still lazing
under a price fixe,

is it time to pledge,
bidding adieu,
when I haven't yet,
seen the lovely you?

Words which echo,
never leaving the fray,
will remain in my head,
until the end of day.

What happens when,
the life you led,
goes from routine,
to a hidden dread?

I've accepted the life,
God has set for me
and know at any moment,
I may cease to be.

A father, a grandpa,
or just simply me.
I'm ok with what happens,
if my soul needs to flee.

Do I like it?
Of course not, who would,
but I must deal with it.
My role is understood.

I will enjoy, my special place,
in this, my current life,
but realize it may be soon,
when I see my lovely wife.

Sometimes, life's insaneness,
leads to a pomposity of an individual.
Those who believe they are all wise,
and knowledgeable about relationships.

I never asked you to love me.
It was never part of the deal.
All I asked was to be friends.
To me it was the best appeal.

Now, I find myself, very confused,
because you never answer me.
No communication, brings sadness,
for now, I no longer can see,

staying as your friend,
if you won't talk to me.
What's the point, in this life,
if you're a friend, I never, see?

There are times,
when life becomes unkind.
No matter why, nor when,
when life, gets into your mind.

Why does that happen,
when everything is fine?
When those you love
to woo with a red wine.

No one knows, except it is God's will.
I don't understand, how that works.
when bad things happen to good people,
it would appear that someone shirks.

It was purple in color
it wasn't a cat,
I'm a little uncertain,
but I do know that.

It showed up one day,
as I was going to school,
and before I knew,
it was on my stool.

I didn't have much room
and didn't want to play,
I just hoped it would leave,
and just go away.

Alas, that never happened.
I still wonder and will say.
how did it disappear,
in the middle of the day?

Perhaps someday,
I will understand,
what I saw that day,
was the Deep Purple Rock and Roll Band.

In early evening,
I fear the light,
when nighttime falls
and stars are bright.

What fear is there,
which lives in man,
when we must begin,
over and over, again?

A fear of the unknown,
or what lies ahead,
are often manifestations,
within our head.

At sea, in foreign ports,
places I couldn't stay.
I returned home, after many years,
and saw she had moved away

Leavin no forwarding address,
she was hidden, couldn't be found.
I left again, returning to the sea,
my ideas, once again, unsound.

I've searched the world over,
visiting many a foreign port.
Now I find my life is ending,
and my love life, I must abort.

Life is full of choices,
depending on which you select
can determine your life's direction,
and may lead to another trek.

We make decisions, every day,
about routine or important acts,
we do not contemplate
making choices without facts.

Living, is a wonderful time,
to me others and friends we make.
Where else in life, would we go,
except right here and taking a break.

Take a break,
from your daily task.
Be kind and supportive.
If you can help, please ask.
