Lessons Learned

To commiserate with the blending
Of a place that is mending
From a time not so long ago
At a beginning of letting go

The size of the fortitude
Is bringing one to being lewd
At a tilted place 
But yet not falling from grace

But working on a time for being shrewd
And knowing that the night is a bit skewed
Opening up a heart of stone
And finding that a person does not go alone

On the crossing at the ford in the creek
Knowing, one will eventually reach ones peek
So lessons learned 
As the torch is passed and will burn

That mortality
Is only a formality
And one will come to grips
That eternity is bliss
