Array ( [sid] => 155823 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Slowly But Surely [time] => 2009-12-10 18:58:30 [hometext] => [bodytext] => We live in a world of athletes,
Where everyone seems to sprint until the end is reached.
Many run so fast
They can be considered All-Stars.

Life is not a race, yet most, especially the
Young at heart can’t wait to shorten it.
There is an unexplainable urge to become grown,
But those grown share the common feeling of regret.
A Pattern? Possibly…

Possibly life is meant to flash before our eyes,
Meant for us to look back and wish it could rewind.
Or maybe new generations can learn from the epidemic feeling of regret
And realize life’s purpose of a journey.

I’ve experienced love and friendship,
A life fulfilled and unarguably unfulfilled.
Yet I am learning the patience not to delve
Deeper in the caves of these aspects of life.
I will explore cautiously, and enjoy my findings if possible.

Strength through the mind is the essence of success,
And this wisdom can only come through a life experienced,
Enjoyed, not one that passes like a shooting star.
Is success not the goal word of life?
Then why not search its root?
Our life’s length is controlled by time
But our control exceeds normality
With effects just below eternity, or the feeling of it.

Let us be adventurers, the ‘ologists of this complicated
Idea of Life.

If so, we are not yet so doomed.
We are not yet so lost, so regretful.
And to be not, is indeed to be
And this life one can only wish to be.
Slowly but surely, hopefully, we will be.

Slowly But Surely

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
