First some thoughts: Each poem is an entity onto itself. Finishing a poem gives me a sense of accomplishment greater than the work involved. I wonder at what I have created. Different parts of our brain can only be accessed by different activities. Everyone should try new ways of accessing or expressing different parts of their brain.
53 ENIGMA
People think I am an enigma
My philosophy is not exactly Buddha
But neither is it dogma
At all costs, I avoid drama
Trying not to invoke the wrath of Karma
For recreation, I dance the rumba
I never mastered the salsa
To have fun in life is my agenda
Keeping my mind going, wards off dementia
When I get a new car, it will be magenta
Maybe, as people think, I am an enigma
54 FRIENDSHIP
Friendship is about spending time together
We don’t care about the weather
Friendship is about having their back
When life launches another attack
Friendship is about extending respect
Even when our views don’t intersect
Friendship is about sharing laughter
When life is bad or good, it follows after
Friendship is about separate existence
Our time together creates abundance
Friendship is about friendship
