Life's Odyssey


I'm sorta having a life-is-but-a-dream moment picking the last gr.12 grad photos

Sorta like a dream sometimes, these moments turned to fact
Sorta like a clock that chimes Time’s disappearing act
Sorta like a love song strummed on strings of subtlety
Sorta like a mural hung where only thought can see
Sorta like a blur of summer-autumn-winter-spring
Sorta like an upward spark; this strange and one-time Thing
Sorta like a puppy learning lessons more than once
Sorta like a locket, dear, that smiles and tears ensconce
Sorta like a tug-of-war twixt hold and letting go
Sorta like a drink we pour; a mix of wonder-woe
Sorta like a poem pressed on pages of thin air
Sorta like a pilot’s first run, testing wings of prayer
Sorta like a journey on a gurney made of sod
Sorta like a leap of faith; life’s odyssey to God
