Just this- a poem

                                                      
                                                        
                                                       
                                                                             Just this

                                                     'Just this' is the story of life

                                                     The first breath to the last 

                                                     We come in bawling

                                                     journeying through a tunnel

                                                      

                                                     A first of many sojourns

                                                     Many a folly that amounts to nothing

                                                     hungering, hankering, demanding, relinquishing

                                                     Trying to be all sorts, not knowing

                                                     That we already are

                                                     What are we doing here pray?

                                                      Looking for meaning, making meaning

                                                      sometimes where there is none

                                                      Loving, hating, feeling vile feelings

                                                      allowing the mind to throw us back and forth

                                                      From past to future- future to the past

                                                      Stuck inside our heads

                                                      As if we are a big giant head and no more.

                                                      One big tsunami could sweep us away

                                                       in an instant

                                                       our hankerings, our diamonds, our vendettas

                                                       all washed away

                     

                                                      For everything is 'Just this'

                                                      and nothing else.
