Luscious' Poetry

The Journey Of Meditation

As I walk down<
The long hard highway
I look around
I look beyond the boundaries

I then see myself
In today's society
As well as Yesterday's memory
I try and reflect

I wonder what I did
And what I can do
To make myself
More at ease

Yes, questions do come to mind
But at this point I find
I don't want to answer them
As they will be answered on their own

They might not be answered
Right away
But some time in the future
Or maybe not at all

Who really knows
What the future will be about
That is the way the story goes
Release all my doubts

I reflect on what was
What is and what will be
I walk and my feet pause
Then continue on about my way

I look around
At all of my surroundings
I smile at all my accomplishments
I put away all my defeats

Look, a Swallow
I wonder if I should follow
Where is it going?
It seems to be going on a journey

I will let it be
As if it was me
I would want to be left alone
With the world, I want to be as one

I see that life
Isn't as bad as I thought
I can overcome one's strife
As this is MY life

I know that I have been
Through the mill and back
I have been and seen
That all isn't just white and black

There are shades of gray
I have to live with only today
As today is what counts
And it builds up in huge amounts

No one knows my thoughts
They wouldn't be ones that could be bought
Money can't buy all things
It can bring such pain in one's self esteem

Some say they are afraid
Afraid of going ahead
Facing the promises they made
And dealing with dismay

Stand up for yourself
Don't hide like a little elf
Be proud of who you are
You've made it this far
