"The best laid plans of mice and men... sigh..."

A good title.

"The best laid plans of mice and men… sigh."

 

We want to do so much - in our nows,

most often the things we sooo wanted to do,

but put off …and off

…busy…

always too busy.

 

So… we put them on “lists”

(often just behind our eyes)

…but…

we're too tired now - or still

no time, no time, notimenotimenotime

as we run and run and fall further behind.

 

Ever notice how our "moments" cost more now -

more of us, more life, more effort, more 

…more… everything - that we have less and less of?

Or the places to go, to BE, to see-to do-to experience -

aren't places anymore -

or we can’t DO the doing -

or the “mysterious” they,

no longer match our expectations.

Or the knowing that as we turn

to share - the silence is all that awaits.

 

The dreams we had

(I had dreams too...),

some sooo secret and held so tight.

Some just whimsy - moments filling silence.

Others, -mares way, way to real - too full of

life's happenings.

Sometimes even our hopes were …dreams.

 

In our nows -

all the lil hurts dominate,

the "grumps" became personal.

When is life fair?  Patience - really?

when tomorrow is a maybe…

 

Even mournings have a cost…

And coffee too.
