Things ticked off
and completed today
That must be done
or otherwise stray
The path is assured
if the list is adhered to
Only then will you
see many skies blue
The list has all
your dreams
All the things
you’ll ever need

Lists – sometimes I wonder if it helps us live or restrains us.
I like your word flow in this poem.

Thank you Eric. Both I think apply but it can reinforce what we want whether written down or in our heads. We all need something to strive for don’t we otherwise what’s the point in life? I have many dreams and hope to achieve them all, but even if a third is crossed off that list then I’ll be content. If only we can split ourselves in many ways and experience all we want in life then all would be simple but the list will have to do and the hope of achieving it all. I like to believe that in an alternate universe somewhere my other self has reached his destination that he searched for. My journey goes on…
