When I look into the lives
Of others who live
Mundane and insignificant
The thoughts my mind gives

Decisions and choices,
Seem only a few
Compared to some others
With what they must do

The value of knowing
Of life’s multiple tract …
Comparing oranges to apples
As a matter of fact

Some lives create ballast
Holding traditions in check
Others reach for the stars
And risk their own neck

What is the difference
The difference between
A life of contentment
Silent, unseen

Or, that of another
Who must find a way
Where adventure’s a drug
They confront. .. every day

Being still or Being busy
Not at issue, I think
Just learning of ‘Being’
Perhaps needs learning at length

The complication,
Of that of another
Has little appeal
Not found in my druthers
