A PEEK
Just a peek.
Is all it takes.
To get a feeling.
To get a glimpse.
Into a different life.
Do I want to know?
Do I dare?
To take that peek.
To see more.
To know more.
How do I not dare?
I want to see.
I want to know.
What life is
for someone else.
I will take that peek.
I want to see.
I want to know.
What life can be
for me.
Remember the journey.
Not its end point.
Not its goal.
But the struggle to achieve it.
Look ahead into the distance.
Remember what’s key.
Remember the journey.
For future adventures.
For future battles.
Learn to live by it.
The chicken or the egg.
Which came first?
What a conundrum.
Who knows?
Or who even cares?
Each one leads to a miracle.
A miracle of nature.
Where did nature come from?
Who knows?
Or who even cares?
It exists.
It’s beautiful.
And we should enjoy it.
