    Their path is not our own

    So often in life things happen for reasons we cant explain
    Because of those experiences our lives are forever changed

    We encounter souls who ignite our emotions and force us to feel
    Or discover a kind of love we never believed was real

    Instead of embracing the possibilities we give way to fear
    Question motives because the future is unclear

    Drawn together by more than just chance
    We struggle to find our rhythm and learn to dance

    So caught up in the new emotions we feel
    Taking things so personal or making a much bigger deal

    If we could learn to leave those fears behind
    Trust in a much greater love that we can find

    For we are upon this earth to heal and grow
    Destined to move on to where we need to go

    Others can only hurt us if we believe their words are true
    Although they may cause us sorrow....they may be on another path as you!

    Don't judge them harshly for their mission is not our own
    Love them with compassion showing just how much we've grown

    You can hear the experience in this poem. You have been to difficult emotional places and survived. So many in the world are like that-thrown off a horse and then forced to walk around to find another way, another path. Let the other go, let the horse off the hook. it doesn't pay to bottle up oneself and let it affect the future with the loved ones all around. we americans are battle scared and worn but not defeated. It's beautiful. you don't have to use rhyme if it doesn't work all the time.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
