Subject: Fisherman's Knot


FISHERMAN'S KNOT


My fate seems to be just this
Only left to God-given chance.
As I walk here and there about
Perhaps 'the one', will give me a glance.

Will it then be, a matter of can I trust?
Or is this ordained by the One above?
Could it be ever be so simple as in front
Of Sir Walter Raleigh, I dropped my glove?

Though certainly not a spring chick
Can one see the forever eighteen in me?
Not even pretending to be slick
Or alone will I forever be and be?

Although considered pretty with charm
It seems more and more the world slips away
As sometimes feeling my job wants my life
Lived only for it, with the price for me to defray.

As getting a little more than half of my paycheck
Though my gross seems to make me rich
Before known and hidden taxes eats up my net
And salespeople sell me their unworthy glitch.

While I long to be comfortable enough
Being able to have the luxury of a budget,
Almost out of reach for the working poor
Though some would say, I don't fit that silhouette.

Except I'll forever be playing catch up
Since when approaching next higher level
I always slip and fall back two,
Before my mind cuts another bevel.

As faith of chance leads me on and on
For each and every God given day
I refuse to be totally withdrawn
With soul savings permitting, my life to pay.

And may it ever be permitted
Speaking I for those who cannot
As I and I cast nets for fishes, feeding the masses,
Into waters with a shore .. fisherman's knot.

Just I as in oneself and/or
everyone and oneself within this world.
