Relationship

by Jay (Aries) - Not entered

Around and around we go, no one knows where it will stop
Relationship, either it’s great, or Cosmic Slop.
Maybe I’m wrong, but it sure seems we create The Now from our past
We build on the mistakes we have made, is it any wonder nothing seems to last?
Into our mind we develop definitions, distinctions and the like of words
That we unknowingly create our world by, just one of the herd.

Sometimes it seems that we are in a Cosmic Blizzard not able to see
The simplicity of life’s rules that were given to you and to me.
Each relationship we enter into is different, brand-new, never existed before
We enter with expectation, entrenched in our mind relationships are bad, a festering sore.
From our past this has been our experience, a pattern, but we are asleep
Something will keep drawing us to this type of person, until we awake and take a Cosmic Leap.

Life, Love, Relationships are living entities, things that we create
Not something we buy at Wally-World, K-Mart, Target, and not something to abnegate. 
How do we teach ourselves that relationships are not bad, how do we learn
From the patterns of our past to get beyond already knowing, eliminating crash and burn?
Where in our life time did we learn we were so undeserving, so broken, so unworthy
That the best we can hope for is someone who thinks of us as scurvy?

Relationships are full of things that make us the way we be
Commitment, Responsibility, Love, Trust and other stuff, within ourselves to see.
All these things and more are living creations of our own making built from our past
We can live with what we have already distinguished, or look at life differently, a new cast.
There are no guarantees that what we change will be for the better or get different results in life
Maybe we can get out cycling through shoulda, woulda, coulda, maybe beyond conflict and strife.

What are we so afraid of, will we lose control, manipulation or this thing called power
To be so unequal in our dealings with others, we know like milk the relationship will turn sour.
We truly are creatures from the Cosmos, we came here to this sandbox to learn
Open our heart, walk vulnerable, take another chance without expectation, or crash and burn.
Within this life somehow we must make every effort to get beyond conflict, strife and pain
On the other side, within us, exists a creation of beauty, peace and love, that is our Cosmic Aim. 

So it is Written ...
So it is ...
...
