Juggler

A Sonnet
 
Overwhelming! True, life can be at times
 
Hundred things to juggle and attend to
 
Focus on important ones, one must do
 
And learn to separate nickels from dimes!
 
Isolate sweet oranges from sour limes
 
And crystal orbs from the rubber balls too;
 
Keep breakables up in air close to you
 
Let the rubber ones bounce away betimes!
 
Life is complex but we can’t simplify
 
By taking care of what our heart desires
 
For we’re not the only stars in the sky
 
And that’s not what our salvation requires
 
Juggle we must, so none should go awry
 
But make sure our souls, far from hellish fires

I was impressed to write this poem because of a story I read about a juggler who kept only glass balls up in the air, and let rubber balls bounce away. Basically, only worry about what really matters, and let the chaff be carried by the breeze.
