To be content

What I look for these days
what I am wanting these days
is to be content

And many days I do have moments of contentment
Moments when I realize that even though I am nowhere,
I am where I need to be
I can be happy right here where I am
And I can be happy where it is next to which I go

I just need to keep my head off the ground
No matter how beaten down I feel
No matter how much I may feel I have fallen
No matter what hole it seems I have dug myself into
No matter if I feel like I am stuck in the mud
I can always roll over
And at least look up

There is always an up to look toward
Something to work toward
And sometimes it may take a time to wallow in my mire
Sometimes it is okay to hurt
I am not yet a master and still will lose sight of what is

And what is, what it is all about
What everything all means
It does not mean anymore than it already is

But still yet, even though everything is at as is
Will be as it will
And the universe will take care of itself,

Still, some days I hurt
