a recurrent theme <br />in my life <br />is how my job <br />causes such strife <br /> <br />it's not what i want <br />but it's pretty good <br />but I'd rather be playing <br />out in the woods <br /> <br />I'd rather be farming <br />or sailing the seas <br />than feeling this air- <br />conditioned breeze <br /> <br />exploring a cave <br />or diving a wreck <br />it'd be worth it <br />to risk my neck <br /> <br />but is it wiser <br />that instead I am here <br />with computer and chair? <br />or is it just fear? <br /> <br />the older you get <br />the less you can do <br />I'd like people I've met <br />to not say 'who? ' <br /> <br />Now it is noon <br />a chance to bike ride <br />or kayak or jog <br />but inside I still hide. <br /> <br />Gotta look like I'm working <br />gotta put in the time <br />but my soul has snuck off <br />and left me here to rhyme.<br /><br />Chuck Audette<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-recurrent-theme/
