Hard Lessons
He was a child who was never satisfied.
You hear what I’m saying. Something
about him yearned to eat the big
enchilada, so he created his own world.
Before too long, he chose
to wrestle a giant.
He knew he couldn’t win, but once
the match began, it was too late.
It’s alright to take on the impossible.
It takes time to negotiate a labyrinth,
To freefall from a bad dream or to learn
The lessons shared by the elders.
People will usually listen.
They’re like the still water,
but one must dive-in head first.
Perhaps it was those silly untruths.
Maybe the broken promises
never honored. Tomorrows
that never came. As the
saying goes “It floats”!
and that’s it. He surfaces
gasps for air and yells
for the rescue boat. “It’s
about time,” his father answers.
