Where Have I Been

          Where Have I Been

Curiosity has returned,
Small things catch my eye,
Water bug scooting on water,
I stop and wonder where have I been.

Waking up from numbing slumber,
Sand rubbed from eyes,
Honey bee on alfalfa blossom,
Sweet nectar aroma draws me in.

Jarring of Journey

Sunlight on Amir Today

Jarring of Journey

Jarring of journey awakens from slumber.
A matter of time before life has your number.
Hitting the wall in similar ways.
Breaks down pride, now so frayed.
Rattled and shaken.
There is no mistaken.
Suffering plays a part.
Restarting the heart.
Avoid the truth averting pain.
Wasting your story and all that can gain.
Agreeing with Truth, a way to start.
Courage to leave old, depart.
Mental gyrations as struggle and strive.
Sorrow and grief boil alive.
Dividing dross from gold.
Chapters in your story yet to be told.
