Exercise

1/7/10

Is this life's meaning,

to flex innate attributes

as unique human being

endowed with precious soul

which has special talents,

skills, to serve life

when engaging one's creativity,

maybe that is all,

everything else lacks importance

because nothing lasts forever

except for the 'Absolute'

that encompasses good, bad,

and what's in between,

allowing for any manifestation

mankind can conjure up,

so a thought comes

from who knows where

but it's vibration entices

stimulates aspects of consciousness

sending electrical impulse outward

activating desire for acquisition,

a command given ourself,

then we strive heroically

if passion is sufficient

or reason to persevere,

yet, specific outcome pales

is effected by circumstances

outside of our control

where striving becomes exercise.
