how many are stars? how many are emboldened standing on the front porch at 2 AM being actors-- gyrating the day's missed opportunities saying what could have been said? how many poets only thinking the words to page leaving the hands to clasping regret? how many minutes wasted worrying about perception of Self to others? the artists playing to the packed house of alone throwing kisses to the applause of rain |

Sounds a little sad and alone. Too often we miss opportunities because of misthinking what others are thinking of us. They may be doing the same. They may be in a sadder state than we are. It took me many years to learn this. I now try and be the first to say "hello" or send a smile. I have a habit of winking to just say, "Hi" In a line at the grocery store or post office I will sometimes wink, before I even realized I did it. It is to say,"hi, we are in the same situation and have to make the best of if". Usually I do it to women, but occasionally men too. I did it without thinking the other day to an elderly man who was buying a lotto ticket. I guess I was just sending him a bit of good luck. he was amused and said,"You winked at me. I will have to tell my wife" he was thrilled to have been given some attention.I told him it was just to wish him good luck and we got to talking. latearrival. |

A pleasure to read you again sir. Could not pick a fav line out of all of this but "leaving the hands to clasping regret" is just pure perfection. A stellar write indeed.  |

how many minutes wasted worrying about perception of Self to others? the artists playing to the packed house of alone throwing kisses to the applause of rain I just adore you...you are my one true thing, always. Thank you baby, for today, and for yesterday, and for tomorrows...and for this poem, and being the voice of sanity. I love you.  |

 Bri, your voice speaks truth so clearly. Wish you'd whisper here more often. |

Brian nice to see you on the blue pages again. Yes, we all wonder about miss opportunities and whether our voice will go unheard. I enjoyed the reflective quality of this piece. I hope all is well in your corner of the world Ruth |
