I worry about the ones I love. And, most of you visit here.


Emotional Math

When the night was so cold,
I slept by the fire
Waiting for little more than the light
That I hoped would arrive to wash
Away the pain and demented dreams of the night.

On a Thursday, I think, I knew that life
And my dilapidated body and soul
Could weather the Dead inside my gut and mind...
Permanence and simple emotional math
Taught me about patience, love, and being kind.

Hi Morpheus....interesting poem...

First time I've ever seen the coupling of these two
words, emotional and math...it gave me something
to ponder on
