Hourglass Carpet Square Reflection

miracles like milk
prosperity like water
beautiful growth like perfection
still learning about so many definitions
though older, still a child asking the Elder questions
though wiser, still green and making many mistakes in the grass of life
continuing to hang in the freezer
continuing to be crazy from the heat 
still wishing for a moderate balance
i too look at everything in my vision from multiple sides now
the scars are the teachers
the unfortunate part of the continuity of my forward steps make me a permanent student
when my time comes, yes, i will still have questions
however, i will be resting peacefully, so i guess trying to find the answers will not matter anymore
pathways and trails of life like rocky silk
views continuing to be odder and odder
