etched

we should know better
we really should
than to ask a question
we have asked before

what makes today different
from yesterday
only the wisdom gleaned
through pain past


a fragile shelter
in a large life storm
why is today never enough
why hunger for tomorrow

teach me mother universe
to eat from my heaped plate
and leave for others
the temptings of the future

etched in my palms
the lines of life and living
an innocence of pain
well documented

initiate of the safe circle
surrounded by love protective
why endure the disenchantment
of questions already answered

How ironic that I really needed your words, those specific words, on this particular day, my Friend.

You truly helped clarify something for me.

Karma.

Thanks, Reef.
