Perhaps we think but
never really know who
we truly are until
we ask someone else
Oh I know well
the labyrinth the maze
that we stumble through
trying to decide who
we are but perhaps
we will never know
Next time you find
yourself trapped inside your
mind ask your friends
to blow their whistles
of love and follow
their sounds for only
the sounds of friendship
can tell you who
you are to another

NotWhatButWho
It’s not what you
are or have ever
been or hope or
promise to be all
that matters to anyone
is who you are
whenever and wherever you
are there are far
too many what’s in
the world as many
what’s as corn kernels
So rather than being
one of what be
only one of who
for who is seldom
if ever truly forgotten
Back (for Bean)
Sometimes love does return
just like lost animals
it knows how to
find its way home
Even though the fire
which once burned brightly
and warmed both hands
is nothing but ash
the spark of what
once was remains smoldering
and often it takes
but one calm breath
to ignite the flame
A few kind words
I have always been
and always will be
here whenever you need
for even though you
weren’t I never forgot
OneStevePlease
Oh Universe you are
a wily one possessing
a dry sense of
humor for yes you
have kept your promise
giving me peace and
comfort a home and
food all things necessary
for me to be
I wonder if Adam
felt like I do
sitting in the garden
and thinking wouldn’t it
be marvelous to have
someone to share this
with Come on Universe
send me a Steve
CarefulWhat
When one gets
what one wants
getting isn’t nearly
as satisfying as
say wanting it
There’s something factual
in having something
Whereas wanting swims
in desires pool
it’s nebulous prone
to morphing changing
depending upon mood
That is why
said the genie
to the waif
Know precisely what
before you wish
for once granted
one forever has
And having is
worse than not
