Twoness (for Bean)

And in

Life if

You listen

You discover

You not

A cookie

Cutter cut-out

Of someone

Else and

Then you

Might meet

Him as

Oddly shaped

As you

And that

Your edges

While not

Precise do

Fit in

A way

That brings

Together a

Picture that

When seen

By others

Is beautiful

You realize

Your own

Oneness that’s

Now twoness

MusicMe

You are

My tune

My melody

I hum

Your song

When I’m

Alone you

Are my

Harmony and

Dissonance my

Octave and scale

My symphony

Us (to Bean)

We’re caught

In the

Middle somewhere

Between night

And day

Not the

Ocean or

Mountains not

The plains

Or the

Valleys we’re

Not negative

Or positive

And we’re

Definitely not

Zero what

We are

Is us

Colored (for Mary)

Life is

Not black

And white

It’s colorful

We see

Colors dream

In colors

Wear colors

Ooo and ahh

At colors

And so

Are we

We’re all

Colored even

Stained it’s

Called kaleidoscope

Once you

Peek inside

Nothing is

Ever black

Or white

PerfectPicture

Wanting perfection

Is a

Feeble pursuit

Once you

Realize nothing

Is perfect

Then you

Can see

The beauty

Of flaws

And how

All of

Us blemished

People do

Indeed combine

To create

That one

Perfect picture
