carole-e-slesnick - Hello Poetry

I read how things happen when one gets old how things fall apart maybe I should just get off the planet But wait - I still have things to do I'm just beginning to figure things out sort of I'm just beginning to heal I love these sunny days when the light comes inside and illuminates different places always playing with color

What is that look? That thousand mile stare Is it a look of wonder? (Where is my father? He's always been with me Should I cry?) I'm about two My Aunt Mary is holding me She's looking at me - with concern? I'm not looking at her I've got that stare Has my life changed? Forever? In another photo - same time period I'm told to hold a cat I've put out my arms the cat is plopped down Poor cat I look at no one Not the camera Not the people They are all liars.

For a long time I was angry with her even trying to get rid of her She'd pop up at inappropriate times with her odd behavior Later I thought about integrating and accepting her making her feel welcome Now - I ask her advice After all - she's the one who felt all the love My parents were kind and loving people She's the one who knew them She was already 3 when my mother told my father to get lost She was already 4 when my mother took off to pursue another dream So she knows life from the perspective of confidence and self worth It's good I invited her in and made friends with her she helps me She's the one who showed me how to let go

Let it go like grains of sand spilling through fingers Let it flow like a swift river over smooth stones Let it drift like snow on a windy day Let it blow like dust in a swirling storm

long train passes revealing the quiet gray-blue bay floating white cloud but in the western sky something dark brewing she spreads her wings riding the currents wherever they take her

Morning bells *** tea flee Or in an alternate universe pea tee flea Which could include breakfast, golf, and a dog instead of the bathroom warm drink, and a walk Either way involves leaving the comfy warm nest
