Growing Up 2007
GROWING UP, 2007
They are so
deep...so heavy
too depressing really
I just don’t
want to think about it
be confronted with it
Where is the
hope?
Why don’t you
write...perform....create
something positive
something to make us laugh?
Yes, well...
But the need to
search for meaning...an answer
the need to know and confront
to take it all
on board as
‘this is what it is’
‘these are the challenges...the contradictions’
‘this is the reality’
to realise that the answer
and hope
are, after all, illusive
and then to
still find joy in each moment
to accommodate
the complexity
the contradictions
the ugliness
as well as the beauty...
and, with the lightest of hearts,
to fully celebrate the experience of living
isn’t that the
time we really grow up
when we really attain our adulthood
our maturity?
