Scattered Reflections (Lynn Long)

Stepping Stones

Learn from the moments

For each is a stepping stone

On the path to you

And the path I walk

Is one I choose carefully

And with clarity

Accepting myself

In all my imperfection

Brings inner freedom

Teetering the edge

Balancing life carefully

Fearing the unknown

With trepidation

I peer into the abyss

Of my so called life

Find your happiness

Embrace in the sheer wonder

And… never let go

Perception

What is reality, but a

mirror illusion-a deception

(if you will) within itself…

For how can one ever truly

be aware of worlds beyond their own

if un-willing to open their

eyes to truths unknown?

Life is a continuous

cycle on the road to

self-awareness,

repeated lessons

of moments

forever eternal

Striving, I can only

move forward knowing

what I know

Learning, ever-learning

as I go…

Reflections

Floating on a nebulous

Adrift in contemplation

Teetering at the precipice

I wander the constellations

Surfing celestial infinity

Riding on waves of euphoria

Swimming in sublimity

No longer lost in Moria

For I’m chillin’ with the hatter

Sippin’ tea with honey

Where nothing really matters

Unless you ask the bunny

Time

Mysterious

elusive

silent

in its course

Leaving one

to ponder in

bittersweet

remorse-

Where indeed,

did the time

go?
