Listening to every heart

There sit the journals
One for each grandchild.
                   What are you waiting for?
                   Write in them.


I would, but
                   What?
I am afraid of my mistakes.
                   Get over it!

~*~

I feel – disconnected.
                   You wrote before you typed
Yes, but –
        I recognize my fallacies
        In my handwriting.


~*~

What is your best characteristic?
                        Love.
What is your worst flaw?
                        Sigh.  Love.

~*~

You recently wrote of procrastination.
                        Yes
What happened afterwards?
                        I put it behind me,
                        and started afresh
Are you ready to fail now?
                        Yes
What if it is a success, this venture?
                        If it is a success, it will be so
                        only in some minds
Not all minds?
                        No.
Then why proceed?
                        Because it’s a positive failure
                        if I don’t.
They why proceed?
                        Because I must.

~*~

Are you connected now?
                        Only when I hit “submit”.

~*~

And Rainer laughs
from the window ledge...
P.S. smiles,
and Frances...just nods her head.

Yup great line and my favourite.

that's one of the things I love about ya Karilea, you come out from all different directions and that's a good thing.

I only know that when "submit" is idle, so are we.  You are such a pleasure to read.  KJ

The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
