A Quarter of a Century

Lost in misery
Swimming in guilt
Bewildered with emotions
Vulnerability is a given
Patience is running out...
A quarter of a century is near

Happiness is bliss
Loneliness is sorrow
Lust is temptation
Love is genuine
Life is unknown...
A quarter of a century is near

Eternity is forever
Escape is unreal
Freedom is granted
Success is confidence
Anything is possible...
A quarter of a century is near

Live your life
Happiness is within reach
Love is in sight
Make it a reality
Be optimistic...
A quarter of a century is near

Know thyself 
I am who I am
No one else is me
The glass is half full
Brace yourself...
A quarter century is here

Hold on to the one abiding truth, the fourth line in the second stanza. "Love is genuine" It is the central truth to the abiding light. Sincerely, Love, Moses

I like the way your exploring this theme ... and how it pulls your poetry out ... while you are writing it, it is making you
