MORNING THOUGHTS
S.JENSEN © 2017
THREE WORDS
I NEED YOU
RING IN MY MIND
AND WHERE
THEY SIT
TO FIND
THINGS
WORTH WHILE
LEFT FROM
ONE MOMENT
TO THE NEXT
WE CARRY FORWARD
INTO SPACES
THAT ONLY
WE UNDERSTAND
WHEN ALL ELSE
IS LEFT
BEHIND US
IN A PASSING
OF TIME
THE PRESENT
IS WHERE WE
NEED TO
SIT
ETERNITY
IS A LONG TIME
AND
UNCONDITIONAL
JUST AS LONG
AND LIFE
LOVES TO
THROW SO
MANY CURVES
ONE MINUTE
ALL IS FINE
AND IN A BLINK
YOU GET THAT
MORTAL STRIKE
AGAIN
PUSHING A
CHALLENGE
THROUGH OUR BRAINS
WE ALL ARE BORN
AND WE ALL DIE
AT SOME POINT
ITS JUST
FORCING US
IN THAT DIRECTION
CAN BE HARD
WHEN I STRIVE
FOR THAT IMMORTAL
WAY
THROUGH
WHAT I CREATE
I LEARNED THAT
ITS AS LIMITED
AS WE ARE
IN REALITY
SOME THINGS
ARE MEANT TO
LAST
AND OTHERS
NOT
I HAVE ALWAYS
HAD THAT
POINT OF VIEW
THAT MATTER
LOVES TO SHIFT
LIKE BURNT WOOD
INTO CHARCOAL
WHICH
IS WRITTEN
ON PAPER
CREATES
A WONDERFUL IMAGE
YET THAT PAPER
IS JUST
AS IMMATERIAL
AS EVERYTHING
ELSE
WHY ARE WE
ANY DIFFERENT
NOR TO THINK
THAT JUST
THAT SIMPLE
POINT
THE
DIFFERENCE
OF ONE MOMENT
OR ANOTHER
THERE ARE
ALWAYS
THOSE
THAT SEEK
TO STOP
US ON OUR
JOURNEYS
AND TAKE
AWAY
THOSE THAT
WE CONTINUE
TO LOVE IN
OUR HEARTS
DESPITE
THEIR DARK
TWISTEDNESS
TO SEPARATE
THAT WHICH
SHOULD NEVER
BE SEPARATED
TO HOLD
A FRIEND
IN THE HIGHEST
REGARD
IS ALWAYS
A FRIEND
WHERE AS
FOES WILL
BECOME FRIENDS
FOR AWHILE
JUST TIL
THEY CHANGE
OR THE USEFULNESS
OF THAT MUTUAL
GATHERING IS DONE
WILL THEY
BECOME
FOES AGAIN
ITS THAT KEEP
THE ENEMIES CLOSE
THING
BUT SOMETIMES
ITS BEST
TO WALK AWAY
OTHERS ITS
SOMETHING
THAT HOLDS
YOU THERE
AND YOU CAN
NEVER LET IT GO
NO MATTER
HOW HARD YOU TRY
SO YOU SETTLE
FOR WHAT
EVER YOU CAN
RECEIVE
AND WORK AROUND
THE CHALLENGES
TIL THAT ANGEL
OF NIGHT
COMES AND
WISKS THE
FLESH AWAY
CHERISHING
AND RELISHING
EVERYTHING
IN BETWEEN
IS THE GIFT
WE SO CHOOSE
TO CARRY
AND I CARRY IT
IN THAT
NEED A CONSTANT
FLOW
OH TO THE
MIND THAT
NEVER WANTS
IT TO END
AND THE
BODY THAT
GETS TIRED
AND
WE PUSH IT
ALWAYS
TO ITS BRINK
I TRAVEL
THE WAY
OF MY
TREADING
ALWAYS
ACCEPT THAT
WHICH WE
CAN
AND THAT WHICH
WE CAN’T
AND NEVER
LET ANY OF IT
GET IN THE WAY
TO KEEPING
A BLISSFUL
PEACE
JUST A THOUGHT
HAVE A
GREAT DAY...
KEEP
ON
KEEPING
THE CONSTANT
TREASURE
IN MY HEART
THE PRECIOUS
GIFT BETWEEN
OUR OWN
STRUGGLES
WITH GOOD
AND EVIL
THAT IS ONLY
IN OUR MINDS
AN SNEAKING
IN THAT WHICH
CAN BE WHEN
IT CAN BE
