and it continues...

so there she was, sounding good on the phone
tellin' me about a horrible accident she was
in that day. to everyone's amazement, she walked
away from it with just some minor cuts and bruises.

i just stuck to the report and how she was feelin.
didn't' delve deeper. partly because of tact,
partly because i'm not sure i wanted to.

she's not too thrilled with living right now,
and i'm not sure how much she rated walkin' away
from this as a gift.

so i walked and thought about perspectives.

is it a gift or a burden?
is it a miracle or a curse?

i'm thinking the enlightened would tell me
it just is.

that shows me how far from enlightenment i
am....i usually have an opinion beyond it
just is.

are we here for a reason or we just fillin'
time....?
does everyone have a purpose?
or do some people just make one up and go
with it?

i walked and grinned...
this mid life crisis of mine continues....
i still have no answers.
and i'm still wonderin'.
and i'm still lost.

i'm just gettin' a lot more comfortable
with lost.

maybe lost just is.
