Reality

what is your perception of reality, and what is it not
How will your garden grow

do we ride hard or slow to a trot
are you one of the few who might know

are we all in a fix is the end drawing near
can you see any light in the dark

will you stand tall and proud or cower in fear
are you a flame or a spark

do you have your own thoughts or just follow the pack
is your cup half empty or half full

will you make your own way or stay on the track
do your words speak the truth or just bull

do you deal from the bottom or the top of the deck
do you have all of your ducks in a row

what blocks your view, a log or a speck
what kind of seed will you sow

A poem of wisdom, we sometimes need to look within and ask ourselves those questions. Hope you're well Mark, enjoy your weekend. Tom
