At Times

At Times

At poignant moments we’re left with our thoughts

A still rainy winter’s afternoon when emotions command

Life lived makes us mature and so we remember

Reality mixed with hopes, dreams as well as imagination embers

This curious Being called human, complex and simple

We cannot but marvel and become humble

For the more discovered about who we are

The less we understand and, the doors only ajar

We really are stardust as the drag queen declared

Her performance his dare

We live with the view chosen or seek truth

Fear’s comfortable and we’re frozen then, smug and couth

If we choose discovery, it can crumble our comfort

Difficulty’s conquering cognitive dissonance

So at times when emotions rise, it forces revelation

Suddenly we’ve nowhere to hide from this assignation
