Second Thoughts
Sometimes I feel compelled to wander far from
the security I have forged.
That is when life reconsiders what has been
and challenges me to choose or
negate a perspective that I know exists
but wish to deny.
Is not how I see the world mine alone
while others prefer their own experience?
It's not always easy to appreciate
the choices that they affirm because
reality can be so subtle if not
intrusive.
Maybe that is how things are and I
am not alone in my seeking.
The realities of others touch me in
ways unknown and sharpen my imagination
and understanding with explosive
possibilities that I must consider.
