Simple Mutterings - ''It Is In Your Hands''

I was born innocent and my consciousness began, And from the beginning like everyone I have struggled; Those baby cries were my first protests about my life, And as a child I thought I was eternal. So many times during my journey I have risked life, I have taken it for granted without any respect; And from my first awaking into this world I have searched, And searched for the meaning of my existence. Now, I stand back an observer and analyze my choices, All the paths taken, the twists and turns, the huge hills; The people who filled me with love and even those now gone, And I realize that life is the opposite of death. So my life needs to have meaning, a function, a reason, I want a journey with soul and depth and spiritual hues; I will never have all the answers to the whys and nor will you, This life is a gift to be used well and to not be wasted. "So take your life into your own hands from this moment on." __________________________ February 11, 2015 Poetry/Carpe Diem/Simple Mutterings/"It Is In Your Hands" Copyright Protected, ID 15-1004-329-0 All Rights Reserved.
