Planting An Headstone

The secret to navigating the circles of life

Is finding the way safely home;

+

Fighting the tendency to want to escape from the truth,

The weaknesses to which I am prone;

+

Resting in the one that gives true comfort

And the staying power to be alone.

+

Of course nothing in this world is so trustworthy

And some circles give us the latitude to roam,

+

Unless or until I can see with clear vision

Or the decision is finally written in stone.

+

But most times I will keep running from one to the other

Because it is that which makes me feel I am alive;

+

Nothing is more tortuous than the human heart

And the journeys along the way it must contrive;

+

Until it learns it is only in an heavenly soil

In which when planted it will eternally thrive.
