Still Life In Motion
Time is ephemeral and finite and impermanence my place on earth
I am never perfect but hope to be good enough for this world
My sight has always been poor and I seek insight nevertheless
Knees are beginning to grind and endurance takes a bit longer
And yet life is no marathon or fast race so the grim reaper can wait
Acceptance has reached me though I stumble at a few hurdles
Impatience continues to be my defect and an impasse to healing
When challenges grip the target seems so very distant for real
So much that I flush the plunger before I pass what needs be
Waiting for Godot never was my best state of current affairs
Ingrained in me is the notion there are no problems only solutions
Thus I am insolvent for reality is not well adapted to my beliefs
However I am special some say and an unlimited edition of one
Distinctive idiosyncratic and loved by those who share my path
Blessed with kind and compassionate people who put up with me
My wife lover and soulmate shares my sweet transient journey
And I have learnt to cherish help assistance and kind guidance
I have come to embrace the fact that I am especially fortunate
