Independence was a seed
planted in me at an
early age
Cultivated in the soil
of indifference and
apathy
Watered by disappointment
often until I lost all
hope in people
So I am sorry if
I have never needed
you in the way
you've wanted
My tree does not
bear the fruit of
weakness

Stand in my way
and I'll just go around
Nary a grumble,
not even a sound

Stuck out in traffic
won't phase me at all
Bumper to bumper,
slowed down to a crawl

Standing in lines
that are endless it seems
I do not care
for I'm lost in my dreams

Sitting on hold for
an hour on the phone
I hardly notice
the minutes have flown

Paperwork piled up,
I've so much to do
Doesn't upset me
so soon I'll be through

Losing connections
where signals are bad
I'll just be patient,
it won't make me mad

Little frustrations
I faced everyday
Have all disappeared,
you have chased them away

Nothing will bother me,
not any more
Since now I've met you,
the one I adore
O <youknow> the words
sound so simple
~Letting ~you ~~~    go
but; ha¡ there you are¡
In. My. Skin.

the GReater truth:

Air is pure
and water sweet
joy is sure
and love is deep.

Days are made
as hours speak
of years that fade
and turn antique.

With age and time
our vigor gone
so we must find
the moments long
of joy and love
eternal youth
from God above
the simple truth.
More urgently than driverless cars
we need more car-less drivers!

is not the question

when we have thoughts
we think we should put down
make known to the wide world

we often hesitate
ponder if it is worth the while

afraid of being shunned
called names
et cetera
by people who believe they know
how proper writing should be done

welllllllll ….

I believe if one makes all the effort
to tell us how s/he feels and thinks
all we should do is

LISTEN!
