Poems

How can it be explained?
Natural and complicated.
Truth hard to tell
The other far more complex.
Options open but not taken.
A push is needed the next step,
continually larger, than the one before.
When to attempt - goodness knows
fatal mistakes could be made
through the process till life complete.
Everyone needs to take a risk.
Risk is hard the truth untold.
Silence is easy though tearing at times.
When? How? Oui? or Non?
How to attempt? Result favourable -
Not
How to take accept or fight.
Try to convince or continue life
Eventually fate holds - no matter how
hard one fights. Life is planned
from the start - to meet or not
and the outcome known to one alone.
