A Murmuration
In life how often does something happen that makes you stop and think? How many times do you say “that’s put life into perspective”? How many times do you say to yourself “why am I worrying about such insignificant nonsense?” How long does this feeling last before we are once again back living our life and again caught up in stuff that really is not that important in the grand scheme of things?
These thoughts were the inspiration for todays’s poem;
A Murmuration
There are times in our life
When we stop and take stock
When we momentarily get off humanity’s treadmill
When we reassess our reason for being
Our chosen path, the route we take
When our worries seem so trivial
So needless, so futile, so self inflicted
So dictated by social norms,and conformity
So insignificant that we are ashamed
Ashamed of how we feel and what we feel
At that juncture we change
Change just a little, realign ourselves with reality
With the true meaning of living
Like a starling murmuration
Things change course rapidly but disappear too soon
Overcome obsessively with ones pitiful woes
We descend back to where it all began.
