Knowing

The highs are no longer so high

But the lows still so low

A continuous loop of life

Much like a cheap vaudeville show

We work through all the problems

With purpose and with care

Not knowing where it’s going

Not knowing who’ll be there

I can’t say that I’m wiser

After so many years

Of questioning the meaning

Of my laughter and my tears

Each reflection into my soul

So painfully reveals

All that is there

Is the feelings we feel

The moment spent together

The joy that we share

The kindness that we give

The love that we wear

On our sleeves that cover

Our bodies so fragile

Wasting time on our vanities

All the while losing moments

That could have meant more

Than that singular expression
