Fulfillment Song,

by Romain Thiery in France

Linking with the Sunday Muse for Muse #150
Come join us!

“If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be truly fulfilled.” Lao Tzu

 

Purpose and fulfilment are not places you can enter like a cathedral hall

they do not belt out tunes in choirs

they are but a whisper

soft like a piano

nudging shyly on the arms of men

as children hoping for their way

purpose cannot be held with enclosed hands

it is a vase in which we choose to place the flowers

the ones we picked in the meadow just for you

and when it is broken

the flowers lay wilted

remember that my friend.
