Work in Progress

Pushed and yet trapped

Is the way we all know.

Tend to awareness

If your hope is to grow.

___

See life like a symphony.

Conductor or not,

You’re playing a part.

Your stance is your lot.

___

See-how folks are moving

And reacting to things.

How do they handle

What life takes and brings?

___

There’s a chorus and choir,

Instruments common, and new,

Players all over.

They’re mixed-up about you.

___

Unsure of themselves

And unsure of their place

They can’t see the truth;

Their own tail’s what they chase.

___

So YOU decide

To see what is here.

But you can’t know the moment

If you don’t know your fear.

___

You can’t know the present

Without knowing the past.

And, you can’t catch the future

If you’re unwilling to cast.

___

You can’t be in the moment,

Not with what it can be…

If the past holds you down,

You’re unable to see (clearly).
