Practiced

you sit high above us
in wordy concrete steps
repeating selfish monolog of your
sheer loneness and purest love
words that have been
practiced till they are art
it is not the saddest thing
that you really believe them
in your head and you are
so good at the act of
playing your part
but the saddest thing of all is
you are loved by many
and by no one at all

I’m not disappointed, I never expected anything from you.

ah.... indictment perhaps for one not so fortunate as to have been smiled on by the likes of you? Nicely woven...and perhaps something for us to think about personally...

You describe the Mona Lisa.....What if it were all true and the hope of Love reluctantly abandon......would this not be sad?

Practiced to a perfection,
Seamlessly sealed beyond all detection,
Words devoid of emotion,
Do you speak of me
And my reality
If not, it’s applicable
Enjoyed these words of yours this morning

(sigh) I love the analogy Richard made with Mona Lisa, it is a sad thought and I hope that is not the case and the love is taken seriously when shared! (big huggssssss) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Very interesting. This is a poem to read and re-read and then, in my case, still be puzzled, but also pleased. I enjoyed this. Bob

you are loved by many
and by no one at all

To be loved, and yet, not loved, is something that is indeed a rite.

Thank you.
