Is It Reachable

Do we sit back and relax
Or heave into the unknown
Do we let others live
or do we stop our
selves from living
Is there such a thing
as real peace
Is it attainable
reachable

Can we rationalize
or do we run
Or shall we just flail
in every pit of mud
before we come out
a slugger
of waste and dirt
water and murk

No sense in living a shamble
going on a ramble
open your eyes
seek from within
be yourself
let others live
yearn to
forgive

Is it reachable
it it thinkable
can we rationalize
or do we run
Is there such a thing
as real peace

Be yourself
let others live
yearn to
forgive

Thank you Hobo

I appreciate your visit and glad to see you back. There is a part of that you wrote has some truth to it but to be honestly truthful to oneself you have to learn to really live and forgive. Respect in yourself first so there is much respect to others is how I believe. I thank you for the visit and will have to drop on over to see your latest piece as I love your writing Hobo. Much ado about nothing blue:) Love,Mona TIME well spent is TIME well lived
