What shows
how little
we know?
What can be is
oft far less than
what we expect.
What is now
has never been
what it was.
07/25/2024 j.g.l.
beyond the facade
we hold nostalgic sadness
it is how we are
possibilities
we may wish for other things
it is within us
we question our plans
question our priorities
better said than done
we try for comfort
within our environment
is our life better?
we seek nourishment
in our emotional state
will it sustain us?
our personal boundaries
expand and contract daily
we feel our limits
are we better off?
wondering or wandering
we are where we are
