I HEAR THE SOUNDS OF LIFE,
STARTING AND STOPPING CONSTANTLY IN MOTION.
CLOSER TO MY LISTENING EAR,
A MELODY OF STRUGGLE RINGS ENDLESSLY THROUGH,
CAUSING ME TO STOP AND LISTEN.
BEGINNING SOFTLY
AND IN THE BACKGROUND THE STRUGGLE BEGINS,
REACHING,GROPING,
TRYING TO TAKE HOLD OF EVERYTHING ALONG THE WAY.
GROWING IN ITS INTENSITY,
THIS IT KNOWS
IS NOT A TASK COMPLETED QUICKLY.
BUT A DAY TO DAY CONFLICT,
MOVING ONE STEP FORWARD,
AND SOMETIMES TWO STEPS BACK....
