timeshift

life changes suddenly
very suddenly at times
and what we took for granted yesterday
is no more

we are tested
our strength of character is challenged
the will for fight or flight arises
and we learn

life always has the potential for change
survival is a skill that should be practiced
like a tool
the will to survive needs sharpening

people come into our worlds
and sadly people leave
lives end at the exact same instant
that others begin

time is necessary
for some
yet for others its easy

i envy these people
a lot

but it is in these periods
of separation or confusion
of loneliness or loss
that we discover the very marrow
of our beings
the very heartbeat
that makes us who we are

we are lost, confused
and many other things
but even now i know

that we will be o.k.
