Reflected

4/10/16



One hundred percentage
Of my effort is my intention
In any positive direction
That is where I'm headed

Realize not everything can ever be comprehended
At times there may be disaster and wreckage
And my own life could be ended
Those very seconds
So be it, even if there winds up being no such thing as heaven


According to the legend
You will be continually physically and mentally tested
And it holds true from the beginning to the present

With a change of perspective
And method
It was splendid
And so unexpected

The moon full not a crescent
Shining brighter than anything fluorescent
In the past, future and present

Remember to eat all your meals, beginning with breakfast
Because life is precious
Across any premise
You'll understand that everyone has their own personal assessment


Far too many nights of sleep that were restless
The options and deeds were endless
And I continually reflected
While having questions
The weight and value of certain things was tremendous
