The Result~
What’s the result of it all,
these games we play
these little lies
we tell
to any and all
and ourselves
in the day.
The desires
we want
expressed
and the ones we
don’t want forced
upon us.
What’s the result of it all?
A loneliness that doesn’t have
to be.
An incompleteness swathed
in guilt.
Is it best not to think on it?
Go about your day
boy or girl.
You think too much.
Positive thoughts
take them and run
I have always
been too melancholy
and a funny fool.
in one.
Guess that’s my
result.

It would be so much easier to just be the fool. But, very often, melancholy is where the answers to life’s questions live.
Lovely poem, Philip. Truly.
Thanks dear… easy being a fool?…I would question that 🙂 both have their advantages and disadvantages at times…
