Distracted Driving
Sometimes in life we seem sleep walking;
occaisionally; even when driving;
we may even forget; to whom we’re talking;
no longer living; just surviving.
Our mind and body must remain in sync;
as we move throughout the day;
our presence of mind, provides that link;
awareness must never look away.
Occaisionally, inattention becomes protracted;
even when driving a lonely road;
our thoughts become dangerously distracted;
our mind; in the wrong mode.
Distracted driving often occurs when drinking;
wisdom and alcohol aren’t known to mix;
causing confusion; the mind stops thinking;
resulting in tragedy; or at least, a fix.
Distractions, while driving, is a metaphor of life;
our bodies and minds; are unaligned;
resulting in accidents and unending strife;
when thoughts get ahead, or behind.
Many live much of their life anesthatised;
saddled with their guilt and pain;
when wisdom steps in; they seem surprised;
unable, from experience, to gain.
Each one, in life, has a gift for a purpose;
tho that purpose seem great or small;
gifts remain unwrapped neath the surface;
life without purpose is no life at all.
