The Wisdom I See

My mind knows what my heart starts, Darkness surrounds yet clouds play their parts. On the other side I can find my way, I’m thankful to see, just another day. Sometimes when I’m sad this is not so, I still plant seeds yet nothing can grow. Sometimes the changes in life are abrupt, I speak my mind but don’t mean to interrupt. When the words come I simply do say, They part the clouds that get in the way. I seem to understand after a while, What I have heard brings such a smile. The day comes to a close like many before, I look to the sky, imagine what’s in store. I can wonder all I want yet it doesn’t change a thing, Heartbreak and regrets are the prize they bring. Silence surrounds as I hear a birds song, It adheres to my soul I simply hang on. I watch to see some new pieces break free, Many of the pieces were inside of me. The ones that seem lost I try to find, I pause for a second but get left behind. I think of those pieces like parts of myself, I search for the life I left upon the shelf. I know I can’t always get what I want, The rope around my neck seems to get taunt. Still there is the hope that I can break free. A man with his words with the wisdom he sees.
