Where Are We Headed

We know not who we are and yet we spar, frittering away thus, the gift of life and looking back see we’ve drifted afar, with nothing to show save struggle and strife. Let us then contemplate on our true aim, that we may stand erect, freed from erst shame, aligning with truth, in our life’s end game. Clear light dawns when we cease to weigh and size, embracing with joy, each offered surprise, whereupon our false identity dies. Make beauteous each wabi-sabi scar, that vibrant heart be aglow and bliss rife, otherwise we will have ourselves to blame, for blocking God’s light within us to rise. 02-February-2023 ______________ Rhymezone PS Grammar HMS @10 syllables per line Fragmented Rhyme Poetry Contest Sponsor: Emile Pinet Notes: Fragmented Rhyme, invented by Constance La France; it has 14 lines with lots of indentation and a rhyme pattern to follow.
