Expectations

Expectations

Always on the verge of discovery
Never quite knowing
Ever so close
?
Expecting a breakthrough
Any day now
Soon
?
Looking without seeing
Reaching for it
Feeling it
?
Pathways diverging in all directions
Which way is the right way
Which path is mine
?
Take a step any step is better than none
Faith and belief lead the way
Reward follows
!
Plough through the hard stuff
Grasp the helping hand
Hold tight
!
Look towards the light at the end of the tunnel
If it grows smaller you’ve gone the wrong way
Choose another path
!
When it appears there is no choice
You haven’t looked
You are blind
!
The hardest choice to make is often the best
The hardest path to travel often the quickest
A guiding hand is always available
You just need to look up and outward
If life is not challenging you, you are not living
!

A waking dream

I woke one night
Whilst still asleep
To find myself
Somewhere on Crete
Sleeping still I woke again
Words I hear, clear and plain
In light of day
In dark of night
It is games we play
Not wars we fight
The dreams we dream
Are true to each
Nightmares aren’t real we teach
  We believe the future
Forget the past
The day is light
The night is dark
There are wars to fight
So forget the park
Sleeping now I turn to my side
There’s the alarm and for real I wake
Dreams are over lessons are lost
Today right now, nothing else matters
Not even the cost
