Love Poem: From the Outside Looking In

From the Outside Looking In

Obviously we see others
from the outside looking in – 
therefore, what one sees is not 
all that is present – the good, bad 
and ugly hiding and surfacing 
using text not always privy the reader – 

the writer and reader coming from 
different planes of reference. One
wanting to be informed or entertained…
while the other, wanting, clearly,
to exorcise both his living and
dead.  We expel far more than
we protect – keeping the true value 
where the spirit dwells
and the soul expresses free of
shallow judgment. 
              Those who live on
in name are not the inventors of
chariots – with their loud, squeaking
wheels...but those brave enough
to follow the beat of a human heart
back to its loving source….
