Some folk are born with knowledge of their goal
mactavish said on Facebook that she and deyo were making the life of their dreams, without having realized what their dreams actually were.I said: I'm sure there's a sonnet in there somewhere.
She said: well, if anyone can find it...
So I wrote it for them:
Some folk are born with knowledge of their goal.
I've met them, though I'm not like that myself;
I'm wandering through life, a placid soul,
content to leave adventures on the shelf.
I've loved and lived without a way to know
the field where I should strive to be the best:
to pan for gold, or be a CEO,
or cure disease, or conquer Everest;
and likewise, you're a Poohstick in the stream:
you drift through life, without an end in mind.
We came together, neither with a dream,
both happy with our futures undefined,
our hoping open-ended; yet it seems
our life together's fashioned from our dreams.
