Perspective

Do you suppose

it more noble

to sew patches on jeans

or to mop messes on floors?

It is a matter of

Perspective.

[Salt water rivers flow]

Salt water rivers flow

Sister streams on either side

Their source above

Overflows

Words thrown like pebbles

Ripple to the heart

Of the unknown depths

Salt water rivers dry

Leaving streaks on the land

Just dig a little deeper

You will see

The rivers still flow

Just underneath

No less intense

[words fail me]

Words fail me...

That which always could

Now can't

For this pain

This knife in my heart

Can only be felt...

This sadness 

Is known to all

Which is why

I don't have to tell you

Two words

Can be the longest sentence

Good bye
