There were times….
When I thought at a certain age, I’d have had a lot to boast about
(but then I was reminded I am not the boastful type)
When I thought having a mansion took turning 30years old
When I thought having a wife was a matter of saving up and buying cows
When I thought a career was a thing for the most educated, the rest do jobs and work their backs and fingers to the bones and ultimately to the grave…
There were times….
When the imagination was a thing left for dreamers who’s dreams we imagine ourselves living
When trust was as simple and honest as a child’s smile.
Then came those times….
Where panic, grief and turmoil ruled supreme
Clouding and plunging everything into darkness
Where anger and scorn saw one cursing and wishing dreadful things upon those deemed worthless….
There were…
Those other times at time…where
A simple “hello, how’re you doing” brought a smile upon your face,
made you giggle, laugh and smile better than a roasted sheep skull…
Times where thoughts of he, thoughts of she brought memories of days gone by…
Times, where the rain pounded in a Unisom beat and rate as your heart, her heart, your hearts raced each other towards a single climax after an anticlimax of a day…
Times where all seemed like a line or scene from a movie long deemed classical by hopeless romantics
There were indeed times….all in the past, for tomorrow is a constant present forever unfolding, draped in an illusion we call life.
Only the circumstances make the feeling/moment hurt more, enjoyable more or prolonged for longer than necessary……!
Let go....and let it flow
