May I, come face-to-face...

Now, I don't normally post my writings/poems/songs on here, but I felt the need to share this one. Do with it whatever you wish:

JULY 2011

When these days grow colder
And weeks will pass me by, passing cars live their life
When the window pane grows musty

We might want to forget and "repeal" the silly errors and mistakes we make, but, we have to acknowledge them and move on... Come face-to-face with our own lives. What we do to it is all on us.

Notice how I didn't exactly finish the line "May I, come face-to-face"? That trailing phrase can go however way you wish. You may want to come face-to-face with many things-- the things you need to acknowledge, the things you wish to find, to meet, to experience... In my case? Clarity. Harmony. But, first, I've gotta come face-to-face with the reality of things in my own life and the way things are situated. To make my best use of them, and make the effort to...
