conflict and nausea

you just never know
what something will be
until you make it real in your life

all the dreams
the imaginations of educated and experienced souls
can not predict, forsee, or gaze into that crystal
to know what two people might share together

who is there among us who does not insist upon trying
who is it that does not think they know
what will be or might be
before it ever is

this creates all manner of nervous expectation,
fear, excitement, potential for disappointment,
conflict and nausea. . .

when the moment arrives
i am reminded to
delight in things that exceed expectations
i am reminded to set fear aside
for there are much greater things than fear in life
