life’s limits (poem 7/25/23)
surrounded by dreamers when one is a cynic’s “today’s meant to be” versus “well, life’s no picnic” enjoying a life while the life’s not romantic won’t mesh well with dreamers with stars in their eyes with feet planted firmly, you know who you are but a dreamer’s convinced they may well be a star and a star they may be, but that’s so not your style so you smile and nod as they strive for some prize for dreamers, a life is as big as the ocean one drop in the water will stain the whole sea a cynic will scoff at illogical notions for cynics, a life has a limit of Me surrounded by dreamers when one is a cynic’s a school kickball player whose friends go olympic or seeing the world through the eyes of a finicky farmer who’s scoffing as pigs try to fly to stand and observe endless truths being twisted is frustrating, true, but recall you must be understanding of things you had thought had existed while climbing the branches of life’s twisted tree
