A Different Perspective

Beneath The Surface

Thoughts that underlie
That flow beneath the surface
The heart judders
To see vacancy in the eyes as she talks
Or not see the eyes at all
For they look away
Easily distracted
Her words unimportant
Of little interest, it seems
There is a confusion
Inner feelings acknowledged
Emotions fly high
Here and there
Bounced around by ruminations
They try to understand and put into order
An equilibrium striven for
An attempt to create balance and clarity
Stir up emotions that cause questions
Are blamed on.........
Anything but the truth

Study And Sawdust

A morning of focused study......finally
An afternoon of sawdust
Up my nose, in my eyes and shoes
Yes, the studies are in need of more attention
But the offer of a mound of wood
And the use of a big saw
Could not be turned down!
A warm house once again
