Life Gives lessons

Its been a while...But a lot of things have happened since I've last written and all have been the source of my inspiration of this new poem. Maybe in a later post I will explain what exactly happened but for now pause and listen.

Road of Life (Listen)

[Road 

Begins]

Life give Lessons

If we pause and listen.

Soul yearns to ascertain

Yet Mind renders it 

Heedless

The trees breathe out wisdom

If we pause and listen.

Soul seeks to understand

To learn its movements

Yet Mind shuts out all

Substance.

The Waters enlighten humility.

If we pause and listen

Soul desires to emulate

Yet Mind lusts

Eminence.

[Road diverges

When Lust is befriended]

If we pause and listen

The winds howl in trepidation.

Soul strives to perpend the omen

Yet Mind only mocks it

His blinded eyes take no 

Caution

If we pause and listen

The fires roar in indignation

Soul fears for its life

Yet Mind only seeks its earthly pursuits 

Slowly, steadily

[Approaching

Death] 

If we pause and listen

Death gives lessons

My dear Soul, do not fear Guidance

Lead Mind out of Indulgence

Death shan't give lessons

For then

Road

Ends.
