Deflated

8/1/11

This can happen after events

long looked forward to occur,

when left alone with mundane

trappings of one's ordinary life

though miracles continue incessant march

toward creating original diverse Existence,

sometimes information received colors past

experience we previously thought successful

as work performed lacked ability

to stand test of time,

wherein relationship trust is broken

bringing exalted ego crashing down

which opens cracks for doubts

thought of as permanently vanquished

only to find out otherwise,

it's phenomenon around pendulum swing

saying 'highs' will deliver 'lows'

within paradoxical yin, yang world

always giving us the practice

of rediscovering equanimity, no matter

what surprises change circumstances that

provide more opportunities to adapt,

pick oneself up from ground,

dust off, take stock, strategize,

while committing to correct wrongs

that deflate sense of wellbeing.
