Moving On

As I sit here , awaiting the coming if the dark. 
I wonder maybe this life was only a lark. .
Those that sometimes come and go
A part of life's crazy flow
Some bring rage some bring peace
Everything you are you don't own , only lease.
Times sometimes seem to go to slow
Struggling to stay balanced in it's unsteady flow.
Can't get ahead , that is something we all know. 
Riding out the bad times
by making up these rhymes
Sometimes dreaming of what tomorrow may bring.
Throughout my life, have I learned a thing. 
Time has turnt my hair gray 
Wisdom gives me the right words to say
So I hope.
I've thrown down my rope. 
To fight no more. 
On these wings I now soar
Time has no rewind.
Only memories that forever remind. 
It hasn't been kind

Earth life is a hard school, uncomfortable for mind-body, good for soul. Now, where are we centred?
