One Life

I wrote this early this morning while thinking about the most special someone in my life. I have not seen him in over half a lifetime and yet it feels like yesterday.  The holidays last time we were together, which makes them forever bittersweet.  Somehow, I think these words are exactly what he’d say to me.  I hope you enjoy it.

The world is in constant motion,

Time continues to move on.

Those with whom you have shared love will come and go,

and best friends become good friends,

and then sometimes become strangers.

Failure dances a lovely tango with success,

as  joy and sorrow scream loudly in the crowd,

it’s a chaotic and confusing mess,

the life we live….

But it’s life,

and much like the paintings of the brilliant Monet,

we often don’t see the beauty of each sloppy stroke until we are too far away to touch it.
