You think you know me now
But let us walk down this road
Life stories we’ll share
Reveal all we really know
The school of life
Teaches you
To be your own teacher
To search your own truth
You’re the teacher and the student
All rolled into one
Answers of the Moon
To questions of the Sun
Where you come from
And where you’re going to
All depends on the journey
And the choices of you
The person you set out to be
May not be who you are
The pull of chance and fate
Determines if you shine like a star
Some dreams change in mid-life
What you thought you wanted
Lost its appeal leaving you
Dreamless and haunted
But new inspiration
Finds you again
Clouds disperse
You’re reborn from the rain
A new outlook upon life
Leaves a smile in your heart
To make the most of each day
From a fresh loving start
You thought you knew me
Until now you’ve met yourself
Now we know each other
With renewed inner wealth

Thank you Marlena. Your kindness is deeply appreciated.
AP - Aren't you wonderful to show us that it is within ourselves to find ourselves - not from the opinions of others......
Thank you Lorna. One of those poems where the poet discovers as much as the reader.
You're very clever, and I like it. Everything here is interestingly put together. The finisher was exquisite. Nice one.
Thanks for reading and your compliment NB.
Very good and very true AP, the road of life has many turnings but they all make us what we are, not what we expected.
Very perceptive Andy. Thanks for reading and your comment.
