I went in search of something

I never really needed to find

I always held it close to me

From the hour of my birth

                      as we all do

It’s the work we do to find it

That distracts our seeking eyes

From the shadow of the thing

Standing beside us all the while

                                   Silent

peace, wayf

I am not still

Mind zips to and fro’

Like a moth trying to find a flame

Fighting the silence

That threatens

Its egotistical yearning

To be heard

peace, wayf

Lou and I were discussing a teddy bear that Mrs. w gave me. I don't know if you can tell or not, but that is a yin and yang symbol around his neck. That Mrs. w is always doing just the right thing!

peace, wayf

Laughter,

Children playing

I remember being like them

Frolicking in the welcome

Warmth of the sun

peace, wayf

Don’t think that I don’t love you

Don’t think that anything you do

Would ever be seen by my eyes

As anything other than perfect

And honest

And true

peace, wayf
