“Sometimes maybe you need an experience. The experience may be a person or it may be a drug. The experience opens a door that was there all the time, but you never saw it. Or maybe it blasts you into outer space.”
— Melvin Burgess
I needed joy in my life
and so I met you
I drew you in beautiful colours.
Hours of laughter and love ensued
Who needed drugs when we had each other.
I needed stress in my life
and so the bills came
We found careers with much success.
Hours of work to make ends meet
We needed each other but had no time
I needed to know sorrow
and so you were gone
Too much time apart and too tired.
Hours of loneliness ensued
What’s needed now I don’t have a clue
— G A Rosenberg
Amazing how no matter what emotional or spiritual button we need pushed, we find a way to draw it to us. Perhaps our understanding grows and we grow wiser with each experience as we come to understand each nuance of emotion. Sometimes we just need to let them rain.
Blessings, G
