Fast-paced race
A chase
Don't fall
Watch your feet
As you move
Try to sooth
The agitation
Brought on by
Frustration
Too much to do
Try to itemize
And resize
The time
In the schedule
Little boxes
Checked off
But new boxes arise
To your surprise
And suddenly you're behind
Not able to catch up
Try again
Try to mend
Your confidence
As it's flattened
Renewed
While you pursue
A new motivation
Contemplating
A way to keep up

Plato’s closet
Plato speaks about forms. That life is like a shadow box. We go through levels of consciousness, in the box, out the box. In the box the shadows seems real until you see the light and find a way out the box to the other side. The outside. Then that was real is now just a form of an old pattern. Seeing outside the box and knowing where the shadows come from Plato’s tells us-if we can understand inside the box and outside the box we can under self and we can know God and higher power.
