It's all right..

Life is a good teacher

I am a forgetful student.

One moment I have it all figured out

The next I'm mulling over my ignorance

And look, the pendulum continues to swing..

I learn to look at it through eyes of humour.

What once triggered the wrong notes of my heart

Inconvenience at the core!

Are now keys that I manouevre

As my fingers dance to the tune of life.

A new chapter unfolds..

"Old things are passe', behold things anew!"

But I marvel at my enormous capacity to forget

Makes it inevitable that history repeats itself

Brings me face to face with a familiar visitor.

Here, today, is a heart wrenching experience

Multiplies the fine lines on my forehead.

There, tomorrow, a memory I reminisce

Even wearing a smile on my face.

I pride at how much I've grown

I know so much, or so I tell myself.

But then I hear footsteps of an old truth advancing

"How could I not remember?" Flashback!!

The Man Himself uses what He creates, even humour

I am able to laugh through trying times

Even at this mildly amnesiac existence.

Well, what it all boils down to

As I carry forward this strange journey

Is that I trace a beautiful constant it holds:

It's all right in the end.

Nothing is too complicated

Even if not deciphered code to code.

An end, though, is just a fresh beginning

So I must brace myself, take it one at a time

Be reminded as many times I forget.

This is the way of life, it's all right.
