Outcomes

Here’s the first post of some writing  that came to me. This was in the middle of the night. Sometimes they become lyrics. Some seem best left as words…

‘Outcomes’       P. Pascoe 23^rd May 2000

 

Outcomes?

These are like leaves in the wind..

 

The tree chooses to lose it’s leaves

But I decide where they land.

Ultimately , in the circle of life,

It’s back  in the  branches.

Life is death is Life

Everything moves; nothing changes.

 

Commitment is Liberation:

To trust in another to hold the tiller

While the other rows.

You may chart from the stars

Toward your destination,

But it is I who controls the journey.

 

Release from the temptation

To take responsibility for outcomes

Witness the dawn

Think not that you’re

To raise the sun 

Like a fish on the rod.

 

Absent friends are reflected 

In the  iris’ of  loved ones.

Rejoice in this:

Let the love of their memory

Be the strength for you to choose

To be your true self.

Laugh with the wind

Grow with the sun

Rest in the night

And have no doubt about Tomorrow.

 

Seeds of truth 

Lie in the darkness of winter

To burst upon the spring.

And be that that is continuous life.

 

A spring within us all

Holds the blueprint of 

What is to be. 

That which is to be revealed tomorrow

Is not our concern today.

We need merely ride the currents

And observe the scenery.
