All for Good Reasons

This existence, and its seasons, blinks of

time, each with different purposes

and if we’re lucky, we gain

happy memories, if but a few and we learn

many necessary skills to survive

as best we can, like

the shrewd bartering of emotions such as; sadness,

happiness and sometimes much

too late in life,

the value of wise trust and love.

"we learn many necessary skills to survive as best we can, like the shrewd bartering of emotions such as; sadness,happiness and sometimes much too late in life, the value of wise trust and love." you sound like one who has lived a lifetime before this one and are lucky enough to remember it...your muse must be an old one...perhaps even the one that inspired the great speakers and writers of truth through the ages? Something like that anyway, for your words have that ring of truth that only comes from having been there...
