I think of you as I walk down the path <br />I smile, then I chuckle, then I laugh and I laugh; <br />Then I stop and then I think………. <br />Was I laughing at you or was I laughing at me <br />Do I owe someone a punch or maybe an apology, <br />Did I fight, did I argue or did I disagree? <br />Maybe, I should just buy myself another drink. <br /> <br />I pondered as I walked to a nearby bar <br />There I will ask the bartender to fill my mason jar; <br />As I must be on the path once again………. <br />I am walking down the path, then I begin to cry <br />I am crying and crying I keep on wondering why, <br />Do these tears of mine justify? <br />Maybe, I must remember not where I am going, but where I've been. <br /> <br />As I wondered down the path I am quite confused <br />I laugh and then I cry, I then become highly amused; <br />Then I stop, so that I can contemplate………. <br />I cannot stand still so I fall down upon my face <br />I laugh at myself for the comedy and then I cry for the disgrace, <br />Should I curse, or should I say grace? <br />Maybe, into my life I should stop and investigate. <br /> <br />I get back on my feet and I now begin to ruminate <br />Now I think of my current condition, and about my current fate; <br />I now remember, it is October………. <br />October is the month of Halloween and my separation <br />The month I harvested my pumpkins and had no vacation, <br />Do I need some serious deliberation? <br />Maybe, I concluded that I should just stay sober. <br /> <br />Randy L.
