Experience

ˌikˈspirēəns

i am homesick most

i am homesick most
over places and people
i have never known

this foul injustice
carries deep lessons that are
mine to discover

that which blocks my path
is often just a signpost
to a better path

my experience 
of karma does not depend 
on its existence

the experience 
i am having is the one 
i am meant to have

experience is
called wisdom when it happens
to somebody else

it is sad but true
that bitter experience
makes great poetry

fear is a poison
and the only antidote
is experience
