"Rambling..."

In the long silence
even a mirror can be close
says too much for most
and not enough for the few...
so...

There ARE times
and then
there are TIMES
when I look
at everything
and nothing
and see
what wasn't meant for sight.

So much of each of us
is
purposefully hidden
because we NEED to feel
there is something ours alone...
and yet
we dream
of sharing
ourselves
fully
and being understood
without judgement
or comment...
accepted as the person we are
not the one others perceive.

I like coffee
the scent strong and clear
the heat - reassuring
the taste - cleansing
and the way it pauses time -
inside.

i must admit....

that when i read it this morning, i'd be back to it again. all in all a great read. if a reader comes back to it, it has left an impression. but these few lines really pack a punch for me:

So much of each of us

is

purposefully hidden

because we NEED to feel

there is something ours alone...

Very good!

Well written words translate feelings to which I relate. What more could one want from Sunday morning poetry. Good job.

This may be rambling...

yet it still brings up many important issues to contemplate. I especially liked this part,

"we dream

of sharing

ourselves

fully

and being understood

without judgement

or comment...

accepted as the person we are

not the one others perceive."

Very true and very well said.
