Reflections and Such, in the Key of Life

By Mobe McScrotom

A journal, if you will, most humbly offered of observation and lessons, experiences of times and places, mistakes made and truths learned on The Trek.

We all have our separate journeys,

With countless parallels and

Many intersects along the way.

It turns out about ninety two percent the

Same for all of us most times, and

The words are how I say:

Be Blessed, and Press On . . .

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I refuse to apologize for what I am,

for my strengths or absurdities.

If I had it to do again, I would not change a thing.

Because all of that,

The Journey, is in and of itself, quite specifically the reason I am me. (That’s it.)

Be Blessed.

I have come and departed a thousand times

In many different guises

Fought and killed and loved and died

Fortunes won and lost—A few surprises

Yet in every single episode

As unique and new as they might be

Inside all those names and faces

The soul belongs to me …

Saddest people I have so far seen

Are the ones who seem to have everything

Money, friends, reserved tables at bars

Twenty-thousand dollar watches—

Hundred-thousand dollar cars

And not a clue in the world

If those good folks hanging around

Are truly there for the friendship or

Just throwing down—For what they can get

Talking all kinds of shit

Breaking a promise—Before it is made

We live and love, win and lose, then die

Been that way since it all began

No need to sit around and wonder why

We all have to go when it is time m’friend

And the time calls on us all—No exception

The soul would have no rainbow

Had the eye no tear

Regret for the past is a waste of spirit

The profound truth should not be feared

For it is the joy of finally knowing

All things merge and become as one

Love is what gets us all through it

As we travel toward the sun

Forevermore …

They were here for awhile

Then they had to leave

Off to that never-ending place

That we all must go

And though I miss them much

I no longer grieve

For they are with me still

In a much deeper way now

And this I know

They come to me in the warmth of the Sun

And speak to me in the Wind

I can sense their Spirit everywhere

Because Love is Infinite—It does not end

And in my heart and soul I have the Faith

That we shall all be truly together again

Sailing the oceans of Eternity

With my family—And my friends

Forevermore …

Like one of those days in winter

Feels like it’s a minute away from snowing

Embers in the fireplace

Still warm and slightly glowing

From the night before

Like the memories of you that linger

Of times so good that went to bad

Still can’t put the finger

On where it all went wrong

Only word that comes to mind is
