In our quest for perfection,

We postpone.

In our attempt at excellence,

We procrastinate..

Skirts and trousers along the street.

Let there be peace in the act of love.

Groomed stallion with strap-in saddle.

Sure footed on paved path.

Rein in hand.

Shall I let her wander?

This is me freeing my mind. Letting go of all creative hinderance, fear of failure and overly catering to other people's opinion.

Why they run, I do not know.
Neither can I begin to ponder.
Race to life, love or leisure.


@incognitaio
this is about the hustle of life. Race to life from the moment of birth, race to love and finding meaning. race to leisure and fulfilment.

"Eyes, once full of hope and lofty dream, Now stare at passer-by,  all

rheumy eyed. Gait of the man that once was. Like a sign post, saying:

Here!, 'how I do not want to be when I am grown"

Borne out of the fear of ever getting to the point where I will not be able to take care of responsibilities. The fear of failure and/or being ordinary.

To that first strand of Grey....

That pointer to agedness.
Bridge between cradle and grave.
Fine line between ode and dirge.
It is wisdom. It is senility.
Subtle reminder to how on earth, we are briefly gorgeous.
That first strand of grey.

@incognitaio
This I wrote the first time I noticed the very first strand of grey in my beard. It was a surreal experience.
