Passage by John Galla

Passage,
a way through time,
the way time passes,
hard to remember what I felt,
so long ago
faded pictures,
all I know...
disconnected from all viscera...
I only know Im HERE,
TODAY,
...and that's okay by me.

"Nothing is what you put into its place" --
woke from a deep trance,
with a smile on my face,
and life is better...
and getting better still...
SOUL MOMENTUM:
let me stop at NOTHING...
and I will!
I'm high on insight,
here today,
and that's okay by me.

When I'm open I feel like a child again,
I feel like the wisest man,
certainly a lucky one,
I always know that wherever I go,
I carry this feeling deep in the throes of my heart,
which slowly beats again,
after so many years of stifling.

In the end I realize that I've got so far to go,
knowledge helps,
but cannot make us any wiser than we know,
Have to just experience each lesson as they come,
to discover,
how to love or find within,
that true wisdom...
in this great classroom,
HERE,
TODAY,
and that's okay by me.
