#BOTY2018: Day 7

By

On the 7th day of Christmas my true sent to me a poem she probably shouldn’t have written 😉

they sometimes happen in the blink of an eye……

they call them moments

we live them and they pass……..

they term them events

we learn from them and hope to change….

we call them lessons

to wake up is an experience

to live is an experience

to survive is an experience

life with all its ups and downs is an experience

we get so caught up in our own little corners of a cyber life

we forget that to love is an experience all on its own

to forgive and move on is an experience you have to go through

that no one no matter how hard they try can not explain to you.

to be liberated is like walking knowing you have gold pumping through your blood

only you can experience the fire that it brings to your soul.

two experiences to sum up my life,

one making my body feel alive and realise the importance of my surroundings and nature

and the other awaken my soul and spirit and realise the meaning of life

one may not have had an adrenalin pumping experience

but they had a faith testing experience that transformed my eyes.

one may not have experienced love or hurt

but they know how it feels to reach the peak of the Kilimanjaro in record time.

if you were to ask me what I would rather have,

i would say  both

cause then i would make for a great conversationalist

and at the end of the day i must relate to where everyone else is

and not always where i am

otherwise what is the experience for?
