I am a man and a person
caught between what might be
and what is, between
the promise and the action,
betwixt today and tomorrow,
in this moving fluid of life.
Nothing has been
what I expected it to be,
but then again am I what
I expected to be?
And though I am caught
and though life moves in its
mysterious flow of
joy and woe,
I am here now grateful
for adventures had and
secret dreams that never
came to pass and surprising connections
that come upon me like a flood.
Yes I am here, for how long
I do not know, but I am here
to enjoy the strange offerings
of the universe and feel the
privilege of what I have learned.
