Our Human Situation

An ordinary life
Thank you for
Pointing that out
That thing I do
You do
Is not our fault
Thank goodness tomorrow
My maiden tabula rasa
Opens the window to a new
But more dissatisfactory view
I laugh
Because the rain will come
And wipe again
The black dawn too near the heart
And left me so dark
So starved
So that I would see you plainly
As you are
It is not our fault
But,
Our way

  4. My heart is ripped. You have such an amazing way of writing and I have been following you for sometime. I am borderline stalking I guess because what you are about is so near to my heart. I feel like I have found a siren singing my song. You are a beautiful, beautiful soul, Joy.
