'Contemplation as To Why'


Contemplation encircles me,
The reason why, I cannot see,
The reason for, I cannot say,
They evade my mind in every way.

*****

Does time replace what has been lost?
Or is it simply added cost
To what is owed, or said in kind
When you're the one that's left behind?

*****

With each new day that comes my way
I seek to find the answers,
But secrets are, as secrets do,
Each one a mystery, tied in blue.

*****

We walk a line that we have drawn
In sand now out to sea,
The granules worn as hard as rock
In endless time, upon life's clock.

*****

Your beauty still accompanies you
As down the path you walk,
I follow you, though far behind
In memories drenched in finest wine.

*****

Which way to go, which way to turn,
When will I ever truly learn?
But learn I will, and find the place
That time now gone, cannot erase.

~ Contemplation, it can mean a lot of things to a lot of people.
To me it means organization, taking stock of things - possibly inventory
for lack of a better word - but when I do it, it helps me put things into
perspective, a guide line, a map, possibly a path that will lead to a better
place than where I presently find myself. As you read the prose I have written
above, it might help you to do the same with regard to your own circumstance.
Whatever the outcome, may it bring contentment, and peace of mind. ~ R.B.
