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

Simba

When a

Boy misses

His dog

He goes

To see

Him but

When the

Dog is

Gone forever

The same

Boy goes

To tears
