On the way to purpose
is a road paved with plans
-with potholes of mistakes
and puddles of complication
And just to add some spice….
are a myriad of land mines
that are guaranteed
to blow up your life
But stick to this road
strap some C4 to your courage
add a spark of poetry
and ignite it
with your mind

I like the way you snuck C4 in this poem. And yes. Ignite it with your mind

Yes life is like that, But who said life was easy? There are always lots of disappointments and pain…hopefully we can find a little love on the way.

Dynamite was meant for igniting like rose’s are meant for picking. Nice write, Vivian. Like an nside joke, I hope google will explain “C4” for me. I’m going there next. Not a vitamin I know. ( – : ]
