In Life

A Poem about something… maybe

I have been drunk enough times But I have not seen enough sunrises I have gotten high more than I care to remember But I have not seen enough sunsets I have dreamed enough dreams But I have not climbed enough mountains I have done enough meaningless work But I have not sailed enough seas I have judged enough of my fellow humans But I have not prayed enough Psalms I have been crazy angry more than I like But I have not smiled enough smiles I have been lazy more often than productive But I do not know what work is meant for me

I have tried to walk the middle path But I keep hitting dead ends I want to walk the right one But the crossroads are always too confusing I thought that I knew where I was supposed to go But I have not yet found my home I am getting old and grow weary But the map is lost to the winds of change I walk paths soaked with ancient blood But is not mine or my ancestor’s I stand and look deep down into the abyss But I step back and drink a cup of tea I sing a song to the world of life But nobody really wants to hear it
