Awareness Poem by Doris Cornago

Awareness

Rating: 5.0


There was this lump one morning
Looked back at what have been
Compared to what should be
Picked up my pace took up
Grace, determined to be
In pursuit of primary
Goals, not much
On failures
But how
Less
Is
More
Knowing
Turning my
Timetable to
Urgency of time
No longer in prime
Yet expiry date dictates
Pace, modes of decisions
Conspires for us to set aside
Fractionality, engage in harmony
Duality notwithstanding, understand
Who we are and our potential for greatness

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

Don't try to be something flashy but try to build on what else you can do either the time you have, leaving some visible tracks so someone else can follow. Do all with passion, not halfheartedly. Take risks, be hurt, prove your humanity and in it, your divinity. Building by influencing the next generation is my advocacy. As Bob Dylan advocates...

As Bob Dylan advocates, And all that you've held sacred, falls down and does not mend Just remember that death is not the end...

Don't despair. I am currently in remission. Either by grace or some form of software glitch, depending on your perspective.: -)
