A REFLECTION: a dedication to my readers

A REFLECTION: a loving dedication to my readers

 

Bits and pieces of my singular
Reality
Fall on these blank spaces.
My own pain and suffering
Are only part of me.
A necessary  release of energy.
Others suffer more
I’ve seen these things  many times
Before.
Bitter sweet this humanity.
But we all live tthrough its complexity.
Evil for good
Betrayal and treachery
Are not our commonality.
What we share is love and affection
Care for the other.
A Beast may have its way with us
Attack our body
Scratch at our  soul each day
But that is the price we pay
For being human
In this God’s world
My father was my best friend.
My mother was the child I raised
At the end.
And now all of you that read and encourage me
Are my sweet reality,
I am alone by choice
And yet….
Never lonely.
I am part of a magnificent connection
A  shared and wondrous sense of  love and affection.
Yes.
Sweet bitterness this
Human Existence.
