sometimes...

sometimes
your mind whispers...
the night is dark & i am far from home...
even though you are hiding under the quilt
in your own bed.sometimes
you mistake the pouring rain
for your own tears
while you are safely sheltered
in your own abode.sometimes
a succession of small nothings
begins to look like a pile of something
even though you are certain
each one was handled
with the utmost careand then...
sometimes
a word arrives
in a still, small voice or in black & white
from one who cares
& you know
that you are not alone.life is indeed a mad mission
but it is not a journey
i long to take
without love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
here's to all of us who are in this thing called life together!

Drop me a line as my old libero e-mail account was closed several weeks ago: jpsonnen@orbiscatholicus.com .

Saluti da Roma!
