a complex simplicity

a complex simplicity

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

a complex simplicity

 

 

in the temporary havoc

a cloud passes

and then i take another sip 

of incongruency

as the moment slips by

and i

swallow a little more knowledge

of who i

really am.

Reflection slow brewed and lightly doctored. Few people truly meet themselves in the darkness of morning. I say at this point in our lives -let’s linger for a second cup.

You will have shaped more lives than you realise and will no doubt have a special place in many minds.
In the cafe you are twithout doubt the most respected poet and I for one am most grateful for your help with my writing but more importantly for the friendship we share:)

well Jacob, let me remind you of who you are:
Poet
Teacher
and most importantly a Humane being!!
I think we often wonder about this: who are we? what have we done? even, where are we going? If I can be philosophical for a moment, let me quote Bob Dylan, "the answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind". Great song by the way.
