Reality?

Accept reality.

Be responsible.

Realize your limitations.

Satisfising -

Is this the salt of life?

Important basic substance

Unpleasant taste alone.

Enhancing taste

In appropriate measure.

Let me salt to my taste

And you can salt to yours.

When share we must,

New tastes we may acquire

Or perhaps some new arrangement

Can provide the best for both.

Accept reality.

Be responsible.

Maintain your charted course.

There is truth in this

I must agree,

But can the wild external winds

Of this chaotic world

Better set my course than me?

An ally, yes!

An adjunct to my strength.

A force to be reckoned with for sure.

I set the course and

Fight or ride the wind.

Stop and start.

Explore the shore.

Fish and swim.

Work hard when

Off we go.

There still is much to do.

Lost. Misguided.

Strong words for me and you.

I accept a reality.

It may not be yours.

I am responsible.

The risk is mine.

The reward is ours for sure.
