The Pail of Water

What do you think of when you watch the sun rising? In dawns early light, Find peace as the stars fade, And the light of day brings A new beginning of a day, A day of wonderment, A day of excitement, A day of adventure, A day that can never be replaced. When you see, Do not see with your eyes, But rather see with your heart, For your heart sees all. I saw something, Now it is gone, Was it really there? Or was it just a hope of something I wanted to be? Why didn't I hold onto it when I saw it? Why didn't you hold onto what you had? Love to the extreme, For you have but one life, And only one life to live, So live it the best you can, Love with all your heart, For your heart knows all. If you just open it up and let it talk to you. Let jealousy be cast out, For what is jealousy, But what you wish were happening to you, Instead of to them, The past is past, And should be left in the past, Don't be a stranger to the one you love. Remember there are different shades of love, Of caring, Of wanting to be, Of what is real. Are you vain? Do you think this poem is about you? Is this a shoe, does it fit you? Well, it is not what you think, But rather how I felt at the time I wrote this. As with so many poems that are written, Just something from the writers head. What is true and What is real? Did you spill the pail of water, Or did it just fall out of the pail? 06-20-2008
