A Second Chance

A Second Chance
Time and tide the essence of movement and fluidity, rushing headlong in a whirl of past, present and future
Blurring the senses and imagination of events and situations, are they now, then, or to come? 
Technicolor dreams when senses are at their highest, vividly remembered upon waking to a supposedly new day!
Perception and rationale spinning in one’s head as you struggle to understand the meaning of this awesome night time experience,
 With haunting glimpses of near understanding, meaning or resolve quickly dashed and absorbed into Life’s daily constraints, 

Am I alert now?

Man; a complex being, befuddled and insecure, often self centred; and in most instances always judgemental, seems to think he has all the answers
Self deceit is part of his daily diet, along with petty jealousies which bring him no joy or relief
Instead he continually tortures himself about things he cannot change until he reaches the realisation that he himself must change 
In order for mankind to make the transition from dark to light; from grief to joy
It is time to release the chains that hold you back!

Are you brave enough?
