Listening to every heart

0 posted 2003-12-19 12:02 PM





I know the year
has been contentious
a bit strange,
a bit licentious
people thinking only "of me"
when perhaps we should think of the real in "we"...

for we are in this,
one and all
thick or thin,
we hear this call
and not be thinking only "of me"
but just look around, what do you see?

People just like
you, and you,
more than alike
we are, it's true...
shouldn't we gather 'round the tree?
Shouldn't we believe in the nature of We?

We strive so hard
to be individual
and yet we are left
with such residual
we almost forget all of the best...
when we are trying to be like the rest.

And yet they are trying
to be just like we...
a circus of fact,
easy to see...

and now I would wish you a Merry New Year...
and one sock, filled with Christmas Cheer.

Hmmm...well, I was gonna call the sock but then remembered I should think of "we", not just "me".  So, how about "we" give it to Chaucer?!?
Thank you for the gift of you this and every season Kari!!
(I have now fulfilled my quoto of Christmas cheer for the year and am going back to humbuggin' status)

we hear this call
and not be thinking only "of me"
but just look around, what do you see?

without each other we just wouldn't be...it's nice to wake up and listen to music
classical, techno...Christmas carols and hip hop...what forms the perfect rhythum in each and every heart...is when we're blessed within the minds of others...encouraging and giving what we have of our selves.  Lovely lovely poetry, card and gift...a sensational loving caring message...Happy Holidays Sunshine
