New/Old

Arieltke

When you come to look at yourself.

Hold two pictures of yourself up to one another.

Take a new an and old.

Hold them side be side.

Then decide.

How are my eyes.

Can you tell lies to them.

Know yourself then.

Understand who you were in the old.

Was your path straight.

Did you know that left hand turn was coming

Or did you know that dog was going to run out in front of you.

Now look at the new.



Are you sure with your position.

Or just a comfortable chair.

Have you made a decision.

Is it a mind of your own.

Are you having a party.

Is it much of the same.

Are you closer to 40

Are you still in the game.



Oh but youth is in the eyes and the hands give away your age.

A wisdom sage. That’s why we can never lie. That’s why we are on stage.

I light post for the mentally silent or a significant beacon for those lost in the water.

Wake up. New Turns to old before your brown eyes can flutter.



Is it time for full circle.

Or are you still counting steps.

Have you found a solution.

Or are you swimming in debt.

Start your religion. A revolution of one.

Don’t let anything stop you.

Until you found your way home.
