Turning back a clock is easy,
turning back time is impossible.
Setting an intention is easy,
sticking with it though…..
Seeing another’s point of view is easy,
understanding it isn’t.
Identifying a good person is easy,
being one is difficult.
Longing to sleep well is easy,
doing so is a challenge.
The idea of love is magical,
the act of love is a struggle.
Thinking about the future is easy,
living to get there takes effort.
It’s easy to take something for granted,
its harder still to work for it.
To escape, is simple,
To suffer through reality, actually hurts.
The ideal life, is easy to come by,
When it can live in your head.
But imagination is not where life exists,
It only makes our daily struggles bearable.
Humbly yours,
J
