Today

Today i subscribed to your poetry
I wanted to get in touch
With your inner beauty
Not learn about what eats you up inside
To day I wrote I love you in a tex
I wanted to touch a heart
With the beauty inside me
Not hear about what a hard boring day yourve had at work
Today I held the hand of a child
That barely understands the concept of friendship
I wanted to help him learn
But he took his hand and hid
Unable to connect to the world outside
Today I saw the sunrise
And I dreamed of being somewhere else
This scares me because I'm ment to be in love
I loved you because
You saw in me what I never saw myself
I held you for a while
Before I knew I had to walk away
Today I made a note to self
Be grateful
Be wise
Be ready
To listen carefully
because boredom runs deep and if this is all you see
It will be all you get
To not take for grantage
That we all feel different
And at the end of the day the child held out a hand
In need of connection
Be ready when the sunset comes
To take hold of the moment
Before it disappears
Be grateful
Be ready
Be wise

This one is quiet a write. It seems honest and well written. A few spell checks need to be done but I am looking forward to reading more of your work.

i absolutely love the opening lines of this. what "you" want to hear may not be what "they" need to pour out. interesting how the poem unfolds. i like the repetition of "be ready / be wise" we're all in search of that connection, need to unfurl from self to find it. might be that you need to work through the layers of bad-days and aggravation before that happens.

ya a stark warning to all not to forget what side they're bread is buttered.

Very nice message here. The last three lines are one hell of a Mantra, certainly words to live by.
Great writing. I like this a lot.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom Pebbles, well done

I ask Spirit for guidance, strength and willingness; then I must listen carefully, for the message will usually be brought by the least likely messenger saying exactly what I don't want to hear...but very important that I receive the message. Be grateful...be ready...be wise. By those words you prove your wisdom, Pebbs. Thank you for sharing it.
