value


i often write as if words

were expensive 

 

and my assets limited

 

 

~

 

 

i have no love of words

i tell stories   some are true   most

 

are half-truths   i like to write

of friends and lovers

 

little else matters to me   sometimes

i write of places    shorelines

 

golden hills of oaks   evenings

on the patio

 

with colin and his grandfather

sometimes 

 

i remember specific days 

and write of them   but words   i take

 

what's at hand   and hope

the reader will make something of them

oh yes! always.
While you have no love for words, i don't trust them either. Its kind of strange, sometimes i feel but then this is what it is.
Also, i like how you place trust in the reader.
Beautiful thought, indeed. As if reading is also safekeeping.
lovely indeed
