Good Juju

Reminders everywhere The reason is good This somehow seems bare I certainly don't miss you Presence of the relationship A healthy one I must pursue The absence of a human After all this time Being crazy is all I was doing Chasing the wrong crowd Can't spend life under a rainy cloud Patience required to switch gears Second person to make me face my biggest fear I did, Hard times for this kid I can't pretend I know I can only try to grow Things keep popping up Old paths seem somewhat corrupt Fresh future promised in new ones I start They're the targets in each throw of my dart The most important lesson I've learned Don't plan, only hope Work your butt off One day I'll see the end of the rope I wont fall The ground I'm building wont allow it Sturdy as a rock Soft enough to touch Plenty of give to allow a bunch Of love that will carry my through End end of my life so happiness and good juju.

..Ok I have had to use two comments on many occasions, but think this is the first for three lol. Once I had to use two soup mails, now that's crazy. I think this poem like many others is great Thanks for sharing Sharon. I keep reading and comment when I can, keep writing.

My cooment had to be modified from it's original version to fit in the space alotted, lol. I was saying these poems about this person, or people reminds me of that quote. I think I'm going to start promoting your poetry. I'm no expert for sure, but I don't think I'm totally ignorant either. I'm am seeing what it is I like. I always liked the unexpected change of pace. I think I see you as a sort of no nonsense person, but with a sarcastic witty side that shows in your writing. I could be wrong.

Throwing darts again huh, lol? Someone recently shared a quote with me, "Everyone is going to hurt you, you just have to decide who's worth suffering for," Bob Marley. I am probably not quoting exactly, but that's the idea behind it. Sometimes hurt is about perception, but when we see clearly, not hard to decide who's worth suffering for. I think that is what has made me like the quote more and more. Great work again Sharon.
