In the hazy glow of life
moments blend like the gleam of old whiskey
and profound questions measure my worth.
Am I Happy?
Do I embrace my daily routine
or does drudgery haunt the day's close?
How much time do I stop to savor
delights and passions?
Who are the good people,
cherished souls drawing near?
Do I tend those bonds
or do sands of time pull us apart?
Where reflections blend
in the mirror's gaze,
what do I need to change?
Should I make big decisions
or take a leap of faith?
In a world that aches,
with souls in pain
What am I doing for others
to heal their hearts?
What comes next, as the journey unfolds?
Answers won’t be found in distant skies,
Our art is found in the search for truth.
