there was a time I desired to know all in searching for that perfect all I failed to notice specks of this and that which fused together may have given me all then I was infatuated with having a grand love faultless but I neglected the soft candle of love’s evermore diminutive realities and pleading for my compassion all my life I have read books many books looking, perhaps for intelligence instead finding me inside the books comprehending what I had not known so, now I sit here an old guy asking for exoneration I leave it to you who sit and judge what needs of mine which need this exoneration eh . . . being who I am I have not erred to fall in love with this love of mine it brings to my heart a mending and healing from disarray to meaning ©February 9, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

I certainly relate to the desire to know all... felt that astonishingly strong in my youth. Kind of shakes me to see the man I am today, knowing enough to know I don't wish to know anything more. You ended this one very well, with a certainty of acceptance and peace some of us only long for. Michael |

Thank you so much, Michael. In my youth, buddy, I didn't care a whit about knowing all, I was too busy trying to stare down the guy elbowing me at the bar. Heh.Heh Thank you again. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

I no longer need to read to gain more knowledge... I just listen to my next door neighbor, who apparently knows everything |
