This journey.
Each of us chooses
our own path.
Individually
we end up in the same place,
we share space for a time,
or longer.
Often we are changed
because of where we are.
Where will we go next?

Political Will
Political will,
political want;
politicians won’t
remain silent.
Undaunted by
political opposition
(imbalanced at best),
it is all noise.
Say what they will,
say what they want,
can you ever believe
campaign promises?08/29/2021 j.g.l.

Ugly And Unwanted
We probably don’t need to be reminded,
every day, people in this world, in this life,
are hurting. Even yourself.
You can feel it, some days more than others.
Most times you are able to
get past the doubt and delusion
for a little while. Most times. It comes back.
You know. You don’t need to be reminded,
but you are. Often.
A scrap of paper, a certain date, a song
from a passing car, can easily evoke
feelings of anger, of discontent,
of a pain greater than discomfort. It’s there,
in the pit of your being. Cracks flow
deep beyond the surface. It is ugly,
and unwanted. A true hurt. A scar slices deep
into the marrow of your existence.
Fractures and faults. You know hurting,
or inching your way through the pain,
can make you stronger. You are not sure
how. Or when.
You do not know why. You know it hurts,
and you hate to be reminded.
How strong do you need to be?
How do you find empathy?
How is it you can see
circumstances have changed over the years,
but not the cause of the pain.
All that remains is the hurt.©2017 j.g. lewis

Think A Little More
Chances.
We take them every day,
but seem to think about
them less than we do, or
more than we will admit.Chances.
We take them all the time.
Think about it.
Think a little more.
Don’t leave it all to chance.
