A LOOK AT QUARANTINE

Less we forget
It is what we come through
That brings the greatest
Pleasures to life.
It is in the struggles
The endeavors
The fears
The overcome
Of the self
That the self is molded
Into something greater
Then it thought
It can be.
It is in the sacrifice
Of what is known
To see what can become
That creations
Become the folly
Of reality
And the joy
Of discovery.
As one does a routine
That becomes the
Expected reality
Of what is before them
It is through the changes
The subtle and sometimes
Obvious changes
That one finds out
Who they truly are.
When one shuts down
The rhetoric of the way
Things are expected to
Be done
And finds the way
They can bring
Who they are to
What is being done.
You change every day
And every day
Brings a new opportunity
To bring you to what
Is being lived
And in those times
When changed is forced
Upon you
Reflect at those
Things you have done
In the automatic,
In this is how I have
Always done them
And see how much
Of you is now missing
From those things
And when the change
Has settled and you
Once more return to
The way things will
Once more become,
Automatic, remember
That you will change
And try to keep
That new realization
Of your ever changing reality
And bring it every day
So no longer what
You do will become
The stale automatic
This is how I've always
Been to things that
Have never been.
Through this forced
Changed to our world
Look no more at
The automatic
And lose yourself,
Your humanity,
Your growth
And instead bring
This true reality
To all things
And open yourself
To the freshness
Of knowledge,
Growth
And to the freshness
Of you to all that
You will do
And realize only
You have imprisoned
Yourself to believe
On what you must do
As it has always been
What you do
For you have never lived
This moment to come
And this moment to come
Is never something
You can claim to
Have been something
You have done before.
