Mayhaps this is no coincidence,
Maybe it could only be the world around us,
Churning along with the tiny stars and cellos.
Reaching a conjecture, an astral display of emotion:
That things are ever-changing,
That this is the way it should be.
It is of many regrets and ill happenings that it has become distorted.
Your father, your mother; their portrait irreversibly stained.
Shatters, numerable cracks, visible to every eye,
That no matter which method you mask or feign -
You are the furthest you've ever been from alright.
Many speak of the self, the soul, the essence of one's life.
No one truly knows what lies in the heart of another.
Though this, with certainty, is real:
A false step is not a failure.
Ground to firmly plant the balance is required that you may stand.
So, lift your head, and try again.
Much do they ponder, of nature, of its roots.
Great are their efforts, fruitless; to grasp the truth.
The swelling tide sets a seemingly warm, yet cool blue veil atop
All that has happened on its shore.
And all too well do they see,
That like the line of sand, and of earth,
Washed away they will surely be, -
Tabula Rasa, the blank slate of rebirth.

A fine write N. Erm, someone tried to see what was in my head (let alone my heart). The answer was 'nothing', or 'air', maybe 'hot air' of me waffling! heehee.
Well, I think you've got more to you than "Nothing."
Thanks N. Me self-denigrating again in jest (long word there!). lol. Dunno about the hot air tough. That bit may be true! heehee.
A great read and so well written - much enjoyed.
Thanks man. I'm glad you like it.
Truths abound in this honest verse - - a false step is certainly not a failure
- - trying again is the answer to
the fact that "everything changes" - - thanks for this well-written reminder Nicolas --
You're very welcome and thank you very much for giving it a read.
