odds and ends~poetry from lifesparadox

Will the tears ever stop falling, do you get lost in the pain?

Can the mind ever be at ease, or is this an evil game?

Confusion takes hold and its power trip is strong.

You can ask the heart to grow colder. Has it been frozen all along?

The answers are well hidden or may be just impossible to retain.

Are these the questions that drive you crazy, or the ones that keep you sane?

Sometimes I cry with you,

when you don’t even know that you’re

crying.

Sometimes I smile for you,

because you don’t realize that you

can.

Sometimes I sing you a song,

although your ears are not listening.

Sometimes I laugh at you,

so that you will find the anger inside.

Sometimes I stand up to you,

when you've fallen to your knees.

Every little sometime means,

through love I’m always your friend.

You’re asked

You step in

With only one foot

You’re needed

You step through

Cautiously one leg then another

You’re wanted

You jump eagerly

Whole body and soul

You’re questioned

You plant your heart

Deeply developing a core

You’re claimed

You become well grounded

Owning comfort as security

You’re ignored

You allow roots to loosen

Nurturing is lacked

You’re forgotten

You slowly stumble backwards

Pulling earth along with you

You’re impaired

You void existence

Disintegration lies beneath

You’re replenished

You salvage your step

A renewal of life unfolds

You’re reunited

You decline the obscure

For you crawl with just a seed
