The Process

Got a kick out of joining a poetry writing contest sponsored by Ford. Cool! I won!

As we grow old life gets complicated
It's not fun anymore so we get frustrated
Material things seem to be the key
Hoping these will make us happy
Worse, we realize it doesn't

It's back to square one
We search for what is fun
We then try to escape from life's redundancy

Try something new, something refreshing
We then go back to the basics, nature, family
The real that matters

Escape is essential in this realization
It's not the road blocks we should focus on

It's the process of escaping
