READING ONES CODE

One was taught
by society
to play the game
of getting ahead
and staying ahead
but the game does not
mean much when
it turns into a routine

There is something
much better to play
of finding a satisfaction
a simple joy and intrigue
in every day
the simple whisper
of the trees and the
slowing of ones mind
to take it all in

Unfulfilling is that cup
investing all that time
all that energy into
an unproductive turn
of events, so stubborn
we are, to just stop
it would seem the
illogical has its attraction
what is revealed
the heart picks up
where the mind left off

This vision is like a key
to unlock the immaterial
which will make sense
of the material
we all have a code inside
that responds at times
it is just finding it
and turning it on
possibly a do-over
is cast and one must
seize it when it arrives
