"Stages "

"Stages "

Greg Budig 2020

Some things take time. 

It's a slow progression. 

Trying to make sense. 

Trying to remember. 

Trying to forget. 

Trying to see. 

I'm trying. 

Stages. 

Where you are in the 

beginning. 

The starting place of the 

journey. 

When will you get to the 

middle. 

Will you ever reach the end?
Stages.

You are born. 

You grow up. 

You reach adulthood. 

You realize truths. 

You realize falsehoods.

You grow older. 

You die.

Stages. 

A natural progression. 

Or so we are told. 

Following a 

deliberate path. 

Or wandering aimlessly 

through life. 

Reaching each milestone. 

Stages. 

It is said there are 

five stages. 

In the studies of 

Kubler- Ross.

From anger to acceptance. 

Bargaining, depression 

and denial. 

These are stages. 

The passing of the 

seasons. 

The journey from 

birth to death. 

The evolution of the 

human race. 

They are all merely 

stages. 

The End
