For Natalie

A Small Little Puddle

 

I see it one way

You see it another

While no one can agree with both

Lovers enjoy the argument

Does my point of view

blind you to your humor?

I usually judge things differently

Who Cares?

Only the confidence of feeling proves the constant branch

on which this

bird

must finally

rest

Only the steel of love can dull a point of reasoning

and leave the knife

flat

like a small

little

puddle

 

 

There is no concern over a small well when the whole countryside is flooded with water on every side. When the mind ceases in loves feeling paradox, then the knives of angular reasoning melt into small puddles
