The funny thing about
Reigns leashes and rings
Is that they are
Clicked held and given
To keep and not
To run let go
And see what happens
Where they will go
And if they’ll come
Back to you asking
You to follow them
Go ahead have adventure
Rely on them instead
They may know where
I remember the weight
Of that one rocks
Glass in my hand
The night you left
It’s all that remained
Of a life together
That I could hold
The rest of it
I let go and
Pushed away but that
One small rocks glass
Still had your lips
In lipstick on it
The difference between selfishness
And selflessness is simple
The first is survival
And the second living
When one is selfish
One thinks of oneself
When one is selfless
One only thinks others
Put it another way
Love occurs inside selflessness
And is expressed outwardly
Greed occurs inside selfishness
And is expressed inwardly
To live love out
My nighttime dreams brought
Happiness an odd array
Of characters had gathered
To surprise me on
My birthday hosted by
My ex husband and
Attended by long lost
At one time friends
Now serving his command
The war he declared
Against me years ago
But my dream was
A bit of homecoming
As though I’d entered
The gates of Heaven
It was like it
Was many years ago
And so you said
So what’s what’s so
I asked followed by
So when’s so what
So where and how
Was so what so
What and who was
So that made me
Nothing more than that
What’s so did he
Make you feel so
Much more than my
What’s so that I
Became just so what
So what to you
