BROTHER


Standing close to myself
I feel awkward, unsure of my intentions
The intangibles defer amongst themselves
Cueing off each other
Barely responding to brother

Feeling lost around them
I gaze at wind and sun
Seeing their benign inventions
How freely they come and go

Brother goes on with his life
Trying to communicate
Ambitions clouding loyalties
Dancing with shadows
Sparring with sullen society

Standing close to myself
I miss the mirror image
Scent provides sight
Sight provides sound
Listening to brother, listening to me

"Dancing with shadows

Good lines, Rick. Perceptive write, offers the reader space for pondering.

I like it Rick.

Thought stimulating without getting too ridiculous.
Sometimes we really don't know ourselves do we?

I like improvisational jazz but I don't like it when it goes too far off track. Then it's only the players that get the meaning and joy.
