three parts

PART ONE
no one understands
doesn’t mean anyone is more important than another
getting a feeling that some look to him as if he is
higher and though his years
maybe a couple more than those
he chooses to associate with
no different and definitely no better
one draws a portrait and another speaks
a fan club
what has he done to deserve this attention
no one enjoys what he likes the best—
sit and write undisturbed
he doesn’t need to be doing anything to feel
as though he is productively spending his time
better than the rest?
you know this man
though you choose to keep your safe distance
you are the closest that he has to good friend
his guru has left off to new beginnings again
don’t think he has mentioned the value
he puts on his friendship to you. . .

PART TWO
a sign of the crossing of two roads leading
possibly to the same destination
when this journey began some time
before having the ability to know
the problems only exist in order
to be overcome
closer and listen to the story
maybe you ignored the sign given
cannot ignore the obvious
believers in the way
only what you make of it when you are alone
what do you think you know yourself
directions do not come with ease
no one can tell us what to think
we have the answers
proving we don’t have a clue
this brings us right back to the question
or problem
no viable solution to wash away all pain
is life is pain
will diminish when we embrace it
with all we have
and let it go. . .

PART THREE
may not see my point
don’t look too hard
it will jump right off this page
smack you in the face
you along with the rest think him strange
not who you think he is
and though random thoughts come from his hand
his mouth his mind
does not mean to shock
firmly believing that you know each other
for a reason
have been here before in different forms
and this is not the first time knowing each other
some of the same confusion in your head...
