in a Rue



Displaced in a common place
faces come to stay for a day or two
for what ever reason of every race
temporal connections in a rue

Most don’t see my face
they don’t ask of who I am
care little of where and why
I’m in this place

I’m curious of them
some I ask where there from
what brings them here
they stare at me in REM

Those that share their anecdote
my selflessness inspired
self indulgent lamentations cease
the mundane no longer rote

This journey rife with challenge
has grown my appreciation
not for things I’ve lost
but for the moments shared
my heart has gained

    Yes, because you have that kind of heart, my friend. "not for things I've lost.......but for moments......my heart has gained". Just beautiful. Interesting that, in a place of temporary visits, some people meet your query with a stare "of REM". People passing through. It is always a privilege to read your words of wisdom.

    You have an amazing ability to see what is truly important, even in such trying circumstances. You are an inspiration. I hope that you will be back in more comfortable circumstances soon.

    Lola and Fireblossom,

    We are back at our house but living in only half the space for a while untill the task of rebuilding is complete. Its great to cut my lawn again. The toughest part of moving back, though, is coming to the realization of the art work, both purchased and personal gifts, we once had on the walls but lost with the flood.

    TexWisGirl, yes I saw my relative in that portrait sitting of the hawk. :-)
