Define who we are

Define who we are

The deepest part of you,

The deepest part of me,

The deepest part of us,

We as human beings,

We can’t define who we are,

We can’t rewind of who we’ve become

A rich man stuck between his office walls

Or a stranger perhaps,

Living in the beauty of this world

Outliving all of these routes and maps.

Choose …

Who do you want to be?

Staring in reflection

Of our hearts and mind.

At the end of our lives,

Who will love us?

Who will fall behind?

Who will choose their own path?

And whose path will be chosen for them…

What happens to love?

What happens to life?

What happens to our souls and our bodies?

Will it be left behind?

What will happen to us?

Can we take a short cut home?

Can we heal, without taking so long?

Can we bend time?

Or build up a dream?

Can we cheat the future?

Or rewrite the past?

Through the deepest parts of you,

The deepest parts of me,

The deepest parts of us,

We as human beings,

What we do,

Does not define who we are.

What defines us,

Is how well we rise after falling!

Hi Ciska,

Boy oh boy!  All encompassing!  You take the reader down so many avenues, coming to that "Y", at their end and wondering what is the correct way to turn. Rich in aphorisms! Replete with raw emotion!  Great write!

Peace and Love,
