Those that speak, believe, feel

Those that cry, question, deal

Those that travel deep inside a fear

might discover there’s nothing there.

I once knew a friend,

a true compadre

she would tell me when

I was having an odd day.

~

Last year I became resolute

I learned how to play the flute

This seems simple and trivial

much less fake and convivial.

~

When I realized how far gone

my ability to trust anyone

had become in an October day,

I wondered why, I’d felt that way.

~

I came to know there was this

quiet reality we all seem to dismiss.

That is, when life delivers a blow,

we must quickly pack up and go.

~

Seldom will we find satisfaction

in our own mind’s application

of insecurity and hopes decidedly

drawn upon a candid variety

~

of leaps and bounds

fresh new sounds

the quiet moonlight’s mist,

now so easily dismissed.

~

In reality we are people who love

nothing else may be placed above.
