Does the sun rise for me,
Or am I rushing to greet it?
Does the moon forget to touch me
As she slips below the horizon,
Or have I simply failed to watch anymore?
Does a friend slight me,
Or do I fail to understand his pain?
Does a relationship turn sour,
Or was there nothing there to begin with?
Does the old soldier sip quietly on a rum
Because he needs the drink,
Or does he salute dead mates?
Is life a construction site,
or a constant reconstruction site?

I’m not sure…
I’m not sure either.

Reflective poem as usual, Andy. Maybe…both. We’re creating and constructing and reconstructing ourselves at different points in our lives. Maybe it all goes in a cycle π Hope you’ve been well. It is very cold now here in Melbourne, single digits at night π¦

I agree Mabel – I know I am always tearing something down within myself, rebuilding or extending, with the hope for brighter shinier days. Stay warm – cool and rainy here today… a nice change π

I thinks so too Patty – Mabel Kwong suggests that maybe it is a ‘time of life’ thing, or a constantly circling process… I like this idea. Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment, much appreciated π

Absolutely questionableπ Very nice comparisons. I believe It’s where you are in your personal theory of relativity.

True – we are all behaving so differently inside these skins we call us, even as we stand shoulder to shoulder with others. Its our own private world in here and I like having a free hand in its development π

Life is, perhaps, a continuous process of construction, discovering and re-construction. You’ve treated this eternal process so poetically…. π
