Where do we go from here?, by Anna Lorena Subscribe to rss feed for Anna Lorena

Where do we go from here?
When the best of the race seems to have been run
And we have fallen behind?
Where do we go from here?

Do we stagger onward
Striving to catch up
Struggling at an impossible feat?
What do we do
When the impossible seems our goal?

Do we merely sit down
Do we admit to defeat?
Must we be satisfied with what is
And not what we could do
With the place we have?

Or...
Is there another way?

So what if we fall behind?
From behind
We don't have to worry about keeping up at all!
We can enjoy the scenery
If we stop worrying
About trying to get ahead.

So look around-
Where are you running?
And have you ever really stopped
To smell the roses?
To see the delicacy of the trees?
Or to marvel at all the tiny intricacies
Of the most common things?

Where will you go from here?

thank you i am glad you liked that last verse especially- i suppose it is the most vital set of questions in the whole poem, to some extent...perhaps that is why it came to me last.
