The idea of this poem jumped into my consciousness when I was typing a school work. We come into being and go out of being. However, what we do in our life span defines our sojourn on earth. In the lines, I describe the attitude of purpose, consistency and gratitude as we ride through life's convoluted mysteries...
Taking life calmly
Doing one thing at a time
With a purpose
As steady as a clock
Tenderly and soothingly
With a thin shrill voice
I weave words
By interlacing different strands of thought
Knowing life is a mystery
Interlocked in layers of history
I move gently
Accepting the mystery of my world
Remaining consistent
In my persistent trial-and-error
I progress in becoming
And living my heart’s true call
When the tide of life is high
And I know not what to do
I rest in recollection
As I swim in the river of my heart
When night comes
And bids me refreshment in sleep
I go to bed
Grateful for the day
