Transitions

by Jim Stinard

In life we are all in transit, and as is human,
we work to enhance it.

 To improve, to upgrade, to be more confident
to be more brave. To be in better health, to
improve our wealth.

 Where is the nirvana? It's always, "I wanna this,
I wanna that," where is the bliss? What did I miss?

 There are no easy fixes in this journey through life, with its ups and downs, its joy and its strife. Where is the peace of mind we are working to find?

 Each day we must find our way to embrace, it’s understood,
all that is pure and uplifting and kind and good. Herein is our joy, our satisfaction for a life that is in transition,
this must be our position.

 Lightning fast goes the day as our life transitions away,
as we work and sleep and shop and play, love and be loved
and look at nature and admire the stars above.

 We need to consider the flower, ponder its power.
We must be like them lending our hearts and hands
to bring more love and light into the day.
