Everything in Life

I could be in denial these days of mortality Damn sure I'm not on trial cause I'm the judge and the jury I can't help feeling the moment that stops me in my tracks It's not fearful or defiant just thoughtful of my gathered facts A welcomed sense of nostalgia Is a daily remedy When staying in the moment is a lost amenity Endearing is the notion of a past that soothes the 'soul' Steering the days ahead toward a balance of the young gone old Everything in life is connected past and future Everything in life is witness unto itself Everything in life is the question and the answer Everything everything everything everything in life All of this reflection memories unmasked Setting aside regrets and emotions unabashed Looking at mistakes as if they were meant to be Regrets become reward in the new reality
