Obstacles

The smoke will clear but the smell will remain

Things that don’t move freely often stay the same

People are battling inside their souls

It is something that’s long been foretold

Obstacles here, obstacles there

If you can’t see them, you still are aware

What must we do but chug along

Do what we can even if that too becomes wrong

Search and you can find

Things that give momentary comfort and peace of

But obstacles will always be

There for you and me

It is how we move around them,

Struggle through them

That will matter when all is said and done

All in good time, like the shine from the sun

I am not the only one with Obstacles.

Bring To Attention By MwsR

Time brings to one’s attention things

Memories past and some special days

Judgments from others cast a shadow

Unreasonable actions, really do matter.

What makes a heart grow dim?

Maybe a person, place, or them.

The things or persons who ignite your soul’s flame

Often get taken for granted and often left out in the rain.

We become callous to things that are corrupt or evil

After all, if they don’t touch us, we just let things dishevel.

Going through this life can be demanding

Usually, it’s the rich or fortunate left standing.

Sometimes someone will get their comeuppance

Or receive an inheritance.

Life is oddly fair at times

At other times we have to read between the lines.

Passer`-byers are merely friends you have not met yet

Friends can become strangers with regret.

The cycle of life makes no apologies

It will only benefit or destroy both you and me.

The only hope when it’s all said and done

Is will you be a heavenly one?

Or will you do like some

And outlive a pardon that was paid for you and me

One that gives all men victory

One that sends you to the heavenly home

Where all sadness, all sorrow will be gone.

Choose today where this life can take you.

Or crumble until you change what you do

Don’t let this poem make you blue.

It is merely to reflect.

Be more than your regret.
