Contemplation
Come what may, I just never know.
Times may come and they may go.
Good things can happen to one another.
Be it brothers, sisters, or just lovers.
Time will pass and the story will change.
But, the ending always seems the same.
I never seem to know enough.
Makes any progress really tough.
I try to keep on keeping on.
Till late at night or early dawn.
I toss and turn within the satin.
Always wondering what did happen?
Could I somehow have made it better?
Maybe I could have sent a letter.
Poor out my heart in weeping sobs.
Eat all the corn and spit out the cobs.
But, still the situation is tough.
I always feel I don’t know enough.
Life will go on and seasons change.
But, certain things remain the same.
A shattered heart takes years to heal.
Depending on who’s behind the wheel.
Still, it haunts me like a bad dream.
I wonder if I’ll ever glean
enough knowledge to finally say.
I think I know enough today.——————-R. W. Johnson—-(2012)
