Cracking To Be


Cracking To Be

Cracking nuts with a knife, -

Think of scissors for meat:

Pride of habits deprive,

Take a rest and repeat

 

And just try afterwards

Their pure aftermath, -

Then for alter rewards

Maybe finding on path.

 

And if not – so well,

Just continue, - and break

Every gate to new dale,

Or new peak, or new lake,

 

And impressions collect

From “before” and from “then”:

And the rest make them left,

Those who “waste” or just “spend”.

 

Through endeavors reveal

Cores of worthier tastes:

You deserve royal meal,

After that – royal rest.

 

And let cutters preserved

Be for next tricks of fun:

That’s for chosen sport

To be playfully done!..
