Open yourself to the greater things in life

And watch love grow.

There is nothing more sad than a wounded heart

That won't let old feelings go.

Too many times we speak in haste

Of things that shouldn't be said.

Where maybe an ounce of silence

Would be so much better instead.

The mind we foolishy treasure

Plays tricks on one and all.

One moment we are flying high

The next about to fall.

If we would only realise

That time is of the essence,

Then maybe we would realise

Without the need for lessons.

    On, 'the mind we foolishly treasure...one moment we are flying high the next we about to fall.' and 'time is of the essence'

    To me this is the meat of your poem. Indeed, we are so caught up with the illusions of the observable reality that we think we know. Because of this, curiosity is replaced with doubt and the latter imposes such a meandering road on our quest to self realization. Unless one realizes that time is the whole that contains all its parts, its essence will be misconstrued and might manifest as a mere lesson, a mere action or experience that veils the insight we need.

    "Who we are depends on each moment we encounter. The clarity of our existence will only pass judgment when one moment becomes divine."- Savgargin

    Wow, very much what has been on my mind of late.

    I had always dreamed of raising my own kids and now it looks like it may not happen now.

    Time to rethink priorities, and whether it is something I really want to do. Also with my friend having a cancer scare this week and the last of my mother figures from my childhood recently dieing, this has been a time of reflection.
