With a path laid out before us, chosen,
and for us to decide, we wrestle.
Life tugs us left and then right.
Experience breeds new thoughts; opportunities abound.
We touch, and its impact changes us.
What is is as hard as concrete, yet many believe in its fluidity. Leaving many to question reality.
Challenging our spirit.
Does life call us, or do we call upon life?
The beauty, I believe, settles upon how well we listen.
-Learning-
a collection of photos and poems.
Learning ~ this collection of yours is beautiful. This one hits the heart of life, both in words (brilliant) and presentation (offset verses). Life needs to be challenging, as it is the only way we begin to learn about ourselves, and thus others. We make life into something special with what we learn on the way, every day. Cheers to philosophy π

Mr. Collis, I truly enjoyed writing this poem and the construction was just serendipitous. Love when this happens. You’re the best and for certain my “hype man” when it comes to polishing my ego. I’m so grateful for your visits. Sending so much love to you. Safe travels β‘

I really like how you led us to the part about how we listen – and the spacing of the sentences gave this a good flow
