Difficulties

Difficulties

There are shoes that come untied

As you are crossing the finish line

Tumbles and mishaps falls and spills

Jealousies, envies,cries of this is mine

There are word problems with letters

Or numbers jumbled whirling all about

There are sureties that with an eyebrow raised

Turn a stomach flip-flopped with sudden doubt

There are grim faced doctors opening doors

As you sit chilled with fright in a paper gown

There are those you thought you trusted who

Cavalierly- just as you need them – let you down

Knots that tie your mind, start your head to ache

Betrayals personal and streaming to the Universal  

Chests pressed with boulders until hearts begin to break

There are those that scamper by catastrophe without a single pause

Until they are effected personally and then take up screeching cause

From shoe laces tripping at an awkward time, to the dying of the planet

Difficulties on parade in all shapes, sizes, consequence and fame. Humans

rise, fall, overcome, ignore, pray, reframe, laugh, repress, stumble persevere

around, up, over, and through. The wise ones knowing it is all a simple game
