Poems & Thoughts of Rob Taylor

Poem · October 22, 2026

What’s Happening?

Free will versus the structure of existence,

and the momentums of past engagements,

that so often we don’t fully grasp,

as they arise and return to play…

And at what depths do we inhabit,

with choices we never even noticed,

and then assumed this is my life,

and how much like their lives, too…

And how much are we carried along,

in the energy around us,

blind in so many ways…

And are we all just mistaken,

yet comfortable with that?

And thus, good reason to pause!

And perhaps,

find more here than we realized,

yet, which may only appear as confusion,

when stuffed into the contexts of others,

that just don’t fit…

But is clear and integral

within the vivid patterns

of one’s own coherent, living, unfolding, reality –

If we were to return to it,

and go home…
