Livingston


Livingston, within your seeking
what did you discover
was it more lost than found
in the searching to uncover
was the water there not so blue
kissing the mouth of the Nile
and when you spoke of your passage
were the natives hostile
standing underneath its moon
compared to you the color just pales
still you go wandering around
helplessly missing the details
and in each stone you carry
you become more pyramided lost
and who pays for your adventures
it is others that bear that cost
time and travel may take you
it’s sad but it’s true
that finally you are so lost
that no Stanley could ever find you

just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart

There is truth in wisdom and laughter being the best medicine.

You wrote them both so well, slick lady~
as well as the irony of it all!!
