I received this recent poem from Paul last night. - poetheart 04/17/02
Tonight as I go to sleep…I realize
I know nothing…Not because of anything
I learned or didn't learn today, but because
Every night I have more unanswered questions…
Which lead to more questions…and stumbling.
Sometimes I look around and swear I only
See empty stares…stares of bewilderment
And nonsense…People who just don't or
Can't think…I can't think for these people or tell them
What's right for them…because they have
A life of their own to live…and my right
Just might not be theirs…
The most I can do is offer subtle guidance…
And let people navigate their paths…
If one does not plan his path, then
He will have to become a planner…
An architect of his journey…
But the lights are off now as I
Type these final words before the
Flame dims…Mean everything, speak truths
And don't let someone else's
Anger and inexperience drag you down.
You should be the only one with the key
To your soul, your happiness, and your health.
Guard those keys closely…they are your vitality -by Paul Papasavas
