These days, it seems
we engross ourselves
in bucket lists,
and dream often
of the excitement
of far off, distant places
we constantly seek escape
from the moment
and dive deep
into the blue glow
of our screens
while ignoring our dreams
and the gift of life
unfolding all around us
sometimes our peace
lurks in the familiar,
the energy we feel
from the person across the table,
in the micro-expressions of friends,
the slightest twitch of an eyelid
or that certain sarcastic smile
sometimes our answers
are tucked away in the most
comfortable of places,
where people know us deeply
but love us just the same
as I find myself
in the full vigor
of my middle years
I know in every
cell of my being
that we must learn to
love who we are,
exactly where we stand,
at this very moment.
and if we find
we can’t do that,
something then
must drastically change,
the choices, they are ours
but life will always
show us the way
we’re supposed to be.
