THE JOY IN POTHOLES

I hate potholes,
They slow down progress,
And turn simple journeys into nightmares,
Especially when you have no shock-absorbers,
Trust me,
I’ve been there before.

But in the leaps and plunges,
As we run along those annoying potholes,
Light bulbs go off in our heads,
We always come up with something,
Not necessarily new,
But in those crazy moments
In between our leaps and plunges,
If we bounce just quietly enough,
Manage enjoy the discomfort potholes bring,
We just might find comfort in them,
In the form of a crazy idea,
A solution to a puzzle,
Or just plain ordinary fun
That leaves us in smiles.

Once in a while,
Choose the potholes,
Do not swerve,
Intentionally fall into them,
Get sore,
Feel uncomfortable,
Bounce around,
Have your thoughts shuffled along the way,
When u finally get past those potholes,
You will find a light bulb in there,
For potholes have light bulbs in them,
Life’s greatest moments are found in potholes.
