Premium Member Hmmm

jockeying for position
requires a motive
which is a euphemism 
for egocentric desire

yet if our heart
be playful and childlike 
there is no bondage
for spontaneous spirit

save man
all life forms live
as such
in the now continuum

Shifty eyes belie camouflaged avarice, seeking a higher share of family inheritance by employing specious logic, jockeying for an advantage. The seemingly dreamy elder sips coffee, nodding in consent.

discerning eye knows
recognising wayward ways
soul smile indulgent

Pushback

Jockeying 
for position.
Defining
pecking order.
Defining power.
Sea of 
motion.
Pushing for
control,
supremacy.
Carving out
a place for
survival.
Quagmire 
of resistance.
Humanities 
dance of
existence.
Has always 
been dog
eat dog,
survival of the
fittest.
Pace 
picking up
light speed 
change.
Brownian motion
on a 
global scale. 
Turning 
the other
cheek, 
quaint musings
of a 
simpler time!

First steps, a new world,
Tiny hands reach for the light,
Life's path has begun.

Small boys stand so tall,
Jockeying, testing strength,
Manhood's door ajar.

Whispers of the past,
Old skin sheds, new life unfolds,
Spirit takes its form.

Leaving the warm nest,
Owlet's eyes see the moonlight,
The wide world awaits.

The old view is gone,
Seeing the world with new eyes,
Choices shape my path.

Wisdom's gentle dawn,
Embracing the elder years,
A life fully lived.
