ContentmentA Poem by Maryam MottahedehContentment What need is there For me to make a thing of him Just as I be determined
What do I fathom lacking When being already equipped With full faculties In search of what more
In some denial I want insurance for that which is
Is it not enough Just to be To show up
A perfect night it was In the hot tub With friends showing up Where n*****s where free to be And the kindness that touched my heart
I need to remind This hard working mind That we can afford the vacation Of less is more That our eyes and ears truthful as the sun That the ground can be stable If dare I stand the truth Of a moments fleeting rise Of the sunset birthing the moon And the musky foliage after the rain The hooting owls lullaby Where the birds fly outside the cage Trusting the wind The sky and the gifted structure of their wings Come, let us fly My pal Sal has showed up © 2012 Maryam Mottahedeh |
