My life has been a progression, of what I will call
Projects and hobbies, that certainly had a pull
Towards interests, forming routes throughout life
Giving me much pleasure, rather than daily strife
So when you finally focus in maturity, what you enjoy
No longer sharing, with young friends-cousins-girls-boys
One can developed interests, become a loner of sorts
Crafts, dance and writing, just some interests I caught
When did I become a teacher, it happened over time
As a married woman I accepted, travel became a sign
Changes came rapidly, family almost lost, left far behind
One forges a new lifestyle, and a new direction is refined
When we cross the world, we rarely know how it'll end
When new strangers, become our now important friends
I wonder how many people, accept such life changing times
Opening up new horizons, somehow displaced of a kind.
I often wonder what my life would have been, if I stayed
Would I have had so many opportunities, that came my way
Or could it be change, making us venture outside comfort zones
Giving unexpected adventures, when accepting a new husband/wife...
Together to roam .......

About this poem:
as a young bride I accepted without much thought....what was ahead.....that in maturity, you tend to be wary.

But things change
That's just the way it is
Don't try to compare
Always be prepared
Life's a b*tch cos things switch
Like feeling fine then got a stitch
Is it something you ate?
Something you did create?
You are what you eat
Energy is energy
Make it friend or frenemy
This is like ridiculous to put into words that to most sound absurb and to others bitter like lemon curd, but this shepherd of a flock is gonna herd with nouns adjectives n verbs
Can you hear?
Can you feel the real of this real?
Like when a banana peel
And reveal its naked flesh
Is there a reason to be embarrassed?
What you got to hide?
Pain, upset or malice?
Pass the chalice
Let's all get high
No weed in this pot only the breath of life
Thank you
The most important word ever
Think you're clever?
Maybe you are
Every1ne is a bright shining star
So go on
Be that

Like chasing the dream
Or so it would seem
Always looking for an ends to this mean
Or is it a means to this end
Let my mind bend
Uncomprehend!
Flowing floetry
Rainbowing poetry
With an input of soul n heart to make this art
Spectacularly spectacular
Miraculously miraculous
Wonderfully wondrous
May these words read n heard not be kicked to the kerb but uplift us
From these depths of dirt n dust
When it seems no1ne to trust
You must
Trust
Your own instincts
Your own conscience
Your own soul
Always knows
When that wind blows be in the flows of darknesses glows
But what do I knows?

Gotta have faith n trust the process
Especially when negativity gives the test
Fight that stress n depress n the undesirableness
With joy n happiness
But how?
When all around energy like bloodhound bringing ya down n bringing ya down
But is it bringing you down really
Could it be that you and me let these things and people into our energy and allow them to infiltrate our heart n soul which breathes so much Love that that mistrust n unjust hurts so bad that now you're down
Now you wear a frown
Rolls the eyes again
Let boys be boys n men be men
In these times of politically correct
Show some respect
For the girl woman lady Princess n Queen
Stars that shine on purpose n with mean
What's to come already has been
Back to how about this joy n happiness
Perception tweak to overstand this stress
It's not you it's them with their issues
Give them the smallest box of tissues
And wish for you
Yourself
A higher deeper perception
The stress is just a test to reveal some revelations
Always you
No other competition out here
Accept
Embrace
And learn to overcome your fear
Then you'll see clear
Exactly where is joy n happiness
The penny drop n you realise you pass that test
Next level please
