Wondering

If you are reading this post after reading the previous ones, you would notice that what I write usually evokes an image. I usually try to make the connection evident at some point in the writing. Most of the time I will visualize the image first and then do my writing. At other times, which is the case for the following writing, I come with the image after writing half of the lines. I wrote a couple lines a few years ago and started picturing a couple willow trees I have seen in my life. After having that connection, I wrote the rest which you can check out below. The image itself is a bit blurry, but so is life when we try to figure everything out at once. The writing below ought to help add clarity to the complementary image. Enjoy!

Wondering

Sitting next to the willow tree

Thinking about what my life will be.

Reflecting not in a self-centered way

But thinking about the big picture.

Wondering, wondering, wondering.

Wondering about the past

With the endeavors that did not last.

Thinking of people I used to know,

  failures, and missed opportunities.

Wondering, wondering, wondering.

Wondering about the future.

Where will I be in five years?

Although more importantly,

Who will I be in five years?

Wondering, wondering, wondering.

When I should be wondering about the present

Mindful of what is going on around me.

Attempt to take in every second as it comes

While having time move with the gust of life.

All while I wonder by the willow tree.
