tim's Bits and Pieces - 65. Teachings
_-_
I know life is a great teacher
Though sometimes the lessons feel hard
We can leave gardens untended -
they grow wild then, but to stay strong,
the irises need dividing
I grow weary of the struggle
my soul is bound, weak and tired
mired in thick, sucking mud
Each breath takes all my might
I want to close my aching eyes
Let this quicksand around me dry
It holds me fast, relentlessly
Quiet now, in the sands of time
In dreams, you suddenly appear
An oasis of air and life
From this prison you set me free
— to future and possibility
