At times life’s so hard I’m amazed folk get through it, other times so neat and sweet it defies belief. They say life’s a tragedy for those who lead from the heart and a comedy to those who live from the mind, but what of us who do both?
Status Report 119
We all have awful times at times,
the mind wobbles, the day weighs,
money small, flesh heavy,
word won’t work,
time don’t tick
pain gains,
life’s naught but nasty trick,
and we can cry, and we can wail,
and hold our breath, and sit on tail,
and refuse to play, or agree on say,
but difference not it makes
cuz awful wobble day of weigh
goes right on tromping
re-rigging weave
best keep on trucking
trouble ain’t gonna leave
till unworked in replay
so inhale, step, exhale, step yet again,
set cycle to repeat
and this now one now next now will end
eventually in heal.
