Like milestones on a journey, our mistakes show us right where we are.
Karma Yoga
Living every hour
in the exact middle
of my weaknesses,
I work some more.
Knowing the ways
I fell apart before
and took poor paths,
I work some more.
To piece together
my fragmentary
feelings for peace,
I work some more.
Pretty sure I will
later fail to restrain
some urges within me,
I work some more.
When all of my jobs
on earth are done and
I'm in and out of heaven,
I will work some more.
in the exact middle
of my weaknesses,
I work some more.
Knowing the ways
I fell apart before
and took poor paths,
I work some more.
To piece together
my fragmentary
feelings for peace,
I work some more.
Pretty sure I will
later fail to restrain
some urges within me,
I work some more.
When all of my jobs
on earth are done and
I'm in and out of heaven,
I will work some more.
