With every passing decade I learn
I grow from the experiences
Hardship or Triumph
Makes no difference
They both produce fruit
Because I am watching
Observing the actions and responses
Feeling my soul deep inside
How else to measure the growth
But to look into others eyes
Hear their words
Or lack of them
Do they turn to me
Or fall away
Was it me
Or was it them
The question ensues
Does it matter
Do they matter
To my happiness
To my sense of self worth
Years come and go
Don’t want the insanity
Of doing the same thing
Expecting different results
Every time my eyes see something new
I am growing
Epiphanies, and A-ha moments
Make me want to let go of things sooner
When they hold me back
Gripping onto past beliefs
Causes rigor mortis
The soul becomes stiff and totally unpliable
This I fear the most
I see it among those I have loved
Must not carry the dead weight
Do all you can to resurrect
To keep alive and well
But if you fail you must leave behind
Those who will not grow
And do not want you to either
Keep safe in a quarantine
Those you treasure
Who see you and reciprocate the love
The reason to live
And to strive for more
Bring them in close
But let them be free to fly whenever they must
For they are as you are
Singular snowflakes
The fingerprints of God
Cannot control or manage
Create the circle
Around your tribe
Keep it secret, keep it safe
Let the circus go by
Don’t let them in
Don’t infect the purity
Where one for all and all for one
Is not polluted by thieves
Masquerading as angels of light
They cannot see
Nor do they understand
What you have is beyond what they can see
So do not fear, but do not draw near
To those fascinating performers
Go to the circus to be inspired
But don’t bring it home
Keep your circle safe
