"Hmmmm..."

"A little ditty 'bout Jack 'n Diane... two American Kids - in the heartland..." Great song...

What IS poetry?  What do we find within anything we hear, see, do...
What is lost and being lost and HOW is it we are and yet aren't
and and and... on-and-on - so it goes.

"Hmmmm..."

Hmmmm... how we meander
living...
moment-by-moment
pausing - breathing
seeing the wonder within others
as they find themselves
- where moments before
even THEY didn't know
where or even how - they were.

We're very centric
very ME
until
somehow - we aren't
and THEN the sheer MAGYK happens
and its not about me
- anymore -
not about hurting,
my tears,
my ANYTHING anymore...
its all - ALL
about
the lil guy that just KNOWS

how insignificant
and never being anything at all special
to anyone - that he is...
and when you remember to breathe
you touched your soul
and what it was to be YOU again.

Hmmm

Sometimes its all about the readers... and you wonder if they know?

I think we can know to some degree, but we'll never fully know. As you said about thoughts recently, they are truly your own. If I am right or not on this, I still believe that is a good piece. It speaks to the soul so it can be externally aware as opposed to being internally aware all of the time.

very interesting : )

We are souls that are spiritually aware....

[Amy Bumpas]

This to me is about life, breathing, being blessed, knowing our inner
selves, and the journey it took to get there...you do make me think
with your words....

[sharonlee]

Sigh... this carried me to thoughts that linger softly in warm places... but I do wonder... that sharing my thoughts here (WC) fall flat on uninterested ears... so few listen to my thoughts...but I continue to share them... its just who I am.

your readers do......

[Kat Collins]

Hmmmm, indeed....the moment that we transcend ourselves. It's not longer about US, but about THEM. Not about ME, but YOU. But I think that THEY are always a little niggling in the back of our minds, even when a piece is created for ME and about ME. Because you are still putting it out there...then it becomes owned by everyone. Or so I believe. You always make me think....
