For as long as we survive

In these lifetimes we blindly drive

We find ourselves wishing for greater

Endlessly looking for new ways to cater

Talk of change, to find cease of struggle

To do all we can to prevent forms of juggle

But, allow me to give you the view of the sky

After all, focussing on the ground is no way to fly.

Some will focus on lively disruption,

Like modern soceity, dwelling with corruption.

However life has held out it's hand with more to offer

Stil, we tend to refuse to make an accepting proffer

Shall I continue? Are you content?

If not read more, more of the time I've spent.

I thought I could keep her safe from her depressing thought

however, my constant failure kept me dwelling in fraught

I took in her worries, I wanted her honest smile

Even if it were to cost that extra mile

However as life came, so did her newfound absence

and thus destroyed all I once called balance

Life became dark

An upon me, it stained it's mark

I found myself no longer listening to the breeze

After all it no longer offered me its please

The people, they complained

claiming life's riches are truly detained

However, this had me drowning in thought

 summoning the realization that I had been caught

We base our inner peace on belongings

Like objects or people, everything in our surroundings

While yes, change may be in order

In the barrier we call struggle, is that truly our border?

Things like wealth and connections, they fall under our desire

but how much will they take us higher?

We strive for things we assume will bring us peace

However, I claim this pursement will further prevent our release.

When we become content with what life has given us

When we learn to love whats given instead the endless fus

Will we be content, we will be happy.

We may pursue change.

We may look for our lives to seek a new arrange

However, these short solutions cannot compare stability

to what lessons of acceptance donated to me, true tranquility.

As the days pass, we will learn and grow

While we focus on strife, we forget life and its flow

So please, focus on your peaceful smile

and remember that whatever happens, life is always worthwhile.

Thanks for reading.
