At the edge of need the sea waits patiently
for my approach and encroach into the world of feel
like love on the perimeter of innate desire
lingers around the will of stubborn minds.

A carpet of green and tall stately trees,
in the distance a shadow; perhaps it is me
mathematically challenged but counting memories
and preserving or discarding for the sake of harmony.

But I’m only a one in life’s long domino line
on shaky ground susceptible to a change of mind
unless I walk the path marked “Intuition’s Way”
through the hills and dales of my African days.

And led that way by need I entered into feel
disruptive, confusing, yet plain and simply me
receiving, perceiving, lasting emotive facts
tied in little bundles concise and compact.

The mathematically challenged yet can count on feel
though perhaps it leads astray for the sake of harmony!

It's wonderful to have been given the opportunity to read you agian. I so enjoy reading your poetry and I love the metaphor that you use in your poem to describe life. We are all so very susceptible to change, especially in our minds, and, oh, how precious and safeguarding to our character and to life and to harmony is the path of intuition. I love that thought. Thank you for sharing it. -Bob

I'm glad your writting again, have missed reading you....
Was just discussing this issue with my son, how change constantly evolves our lives...

very much enjoyed

Sometimes it just doesn’t add up. Does it?
To feel is more complicated than any equation.

Thank you all so much for your replies. Some things in life just never add up no matter how one tries but we simply do the best we can ... and suffer the consequences.

Thank you, Bob - it's been awhile since your last encouraging replies but I haven't forgotten.
