(poems go here) This mysterious mistake
Strong, resilient, everlasting.
Shifting moving and restless
Never can it be still.
I hear it in laughter.
Sense it in the passionate kiss of a lover.
Feel it in the sharp cold of the wind.
Held in the warmth of the sun.
It lasts forever.
And yet ends in an instant.
Inconsistent and unpredictable
Yet constant.
Ever flowing forward.
Feared by some.
Treasured by others
The presence of the soul.
That turbulent energy.
Electricity in the body.
A tingle of power.
Shock of just a single step.
The deep breath of a lung.
Experience sewn in the wrinkles.
It takes a lifetime,
To understand life.

Mr. Blue Skies
J.R.M.
