---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I looked back into the Iris,
Sometimes life is a whisper in the wind,
Thinking we understand it is as fleeting as trying to grab water..
Just follow the waves, look past the graves,
is life worth living if unfulfilled? Who determines fulfillment?
Looking at the wind, looking at this great sunset,
But, its not the same sunset, not the one I loved and brooded over for years,
This is someone else's sunset,
They're never the same, an out of state sunset is particular,
You reminisce about your lost sunsets, your lost youth,
you forgot where you were going long ago,
you forgot where you belonged long ago,
you can't remember when you were happy last,
you can't look past the looking glass,
Why?
Why?
you ask yourself as your mind looks around the boat and you see the faces all in smiles,
You know them....
They know you...
But they aren't yours...
They don't really know you, the familiarity of a small town is within all of them as they enjoy the day,
You wonder back to your time and look for your inner self...
Those that have that small town familiarity with you...
Then you realize that that time is gone, you will be alone....
No one will truly ever know you.. the time is gone....
You didn't hang on hard enough,.. you let it all go...
Now you are left with nothing.. that's what they don't tell those who try to live there dreams,
Sometimes you lose it all... you just lose it all... so take the moments in...
because its fleeting...
This time. This sunlight, this dream,,, sometimes you fail.
But in the end you must seek the end of the limelight into a sphere of happiness that may not exist.
Maybe one day you will be content... but contentment is not the goal, its never the goal...
True happiness is the goal... So look across the boat and smile your smile and take in the wind as it flows through your friends hair, and remember at one time in life you were there.
Recall it.
take it in...
sometimes in life...
nobody wins....

We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned
We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned
But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire
We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall
We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all
They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire
There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

After I write poems like these, I generally wipe my poohole and flush them down.
