These are poems of necessity
Recording what matters
Saying what needs to be said
Revealing unappreciated complications
And the unexamined chaos of the heart
Providing comfort, not explanation
Gathering words behind a levee
To contain love and loss and laughter

Thanks for blowing in my ear. I am now a follower.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your very thoughtful, heart-felt, and meaningful perspectives. I remember when you encouraged me to write. Little did I know that the suggestion was coming from one with substantial skill and talent with writing.
ReplyDeleteEnvy.
ReplyDeleteIt kills.
I thought to warn others.
Steer them away from the abyss.
Surprised at the sight of my own feet slipping,
Far past the edge.
It's your fault, you know.
What I've chosen not to do,
You've done well.
Grateful I am,
for this rather pleasant lesson on:
Envy.
