Revised to: “Forward 1-10″ thanks to Old Egg, who contributed the new final line

 

Go
forward
lest you find
you’re left behind
because not going
is the same as choosing
to fall back, lose ground, decline
Evolve. Devolve. Seems you have a choice.
“There you go, you are a success aren’t you?”
*inspired by Sunday Scribblings ~ Forward

We cannot teach people anything

We can only help them discover it within themselves

~ Gallileo Galilei

~ Ω ~

I approached the oracle earnestly,

Querying about her truth.

She told it all,  quite candidly,

Shared lessons,  events,  sooth.

~

I listened so attentively,

Determined to understand

The knowledge through experience she’d gained.

What helped her heart expand?

~

Naïve,  I did not realize

Her way I’d not repeat.

Indeed,  I failed to recognize

‘Twould leave me incomplete.

~

Then suddenly,  it was clear to me,

Nothing she could say

Would change the path I had to walk,

Prevent the rare foray.

~

Each leg of my life’s journey

Was specific in its goal

I must seek grace,  humility

Refine my unique soul

~

And merge with God.
