Something is severed
Tween my heart and my pen
My insides are out
And my outsides are in
Watching it all
As it scampers about
But perspective evades
when one’s insides are out
Seeking those lines
Tween who I and who You be
Though befuddled for now
It shall all be most Groovy!
Sitting still as it settles
Watching new meanings unfold
Just telling the truth as I find it
Of and to my own Soul.
(Been going back through last year’s stuff to see what I may have left behind)

Hey my friend! 🙂 much love. Plato
Now then Plato – another great poem. I seem to spend my life bemused!
Good morning brother
In a cozy cavern, with tables and chairs, where folks are sipping at teas or at beers. They wait for the man, who will sit up on stage, whose voice will bring the words up from the page.
I’d heard he is groovy, I heard he read poems, like in a movie, from yester year’s tomes. The lights will dim, and silence arise, for the bard who comes in, the one who is wise.
Thank you, good Sir, for visiting your past.
It’s good to be here, at home, at last.
Crap, Fim… Now I am crying… That was beautiful.
She is something
She most certainly is — magical!
You girls are kind and I like it 🙂
I looked at the date on this and it made me all teary. It’s been so long that your insides have been out. We’re all here for you. {{{Plato}}} Take what time you need. We love you with or without words. <3
🙂 thought I would see if I have made any progress.
What’s your gut feeling?
Yes. To what end though remains a mystery
PG, thanks for the reminder that it is always important to get the insides out. The inside is bigger than the outside and even more beautiful than the whole universe. But it is hard to bring out something bigger than the universe and have it received and understood…thank you brother for sharing your journey. Your insides bring Light…

Dr. Seuss would be proud. Those lines are really beautiful. Can still sense your befuddlement in the rest of it. The dust will clear and the world will lose its strange tilt, and things will spin on as before. Only trust.
Its all I could manage but it fits. Needed to smile and not be too serious. Its important but serious tends to make be anxious
Yes, I know how to play that game, too. Laugh instead of cry. We get good at it, don’t we…
Creativity and chaos
not faking but laughing in the face of it
Sorry, Groovy. Can’t even get my mind around this conversation tonight. Will talk to ya later. <3
🙂
Being profound is a fun game to play
It spices up things as we go through our day
But there comes a time when even fun things must end
There are other not so fun things to which we must attend
When the mind is tired and the soul needs its rest
Take your leave with my blessing, my friend, be my guest
Why that was quite lovely, sir, and I didn’t even see it when I left last night. Thanks, Groovy. 😉
🙂 Been a little down but maybe Im not out yet 🙂
No, never out. You just gotta get your feet back under you again.
I felt more organic to me when I listened to you read it. I forgot to listen when I posted a few minutes ago. So what makes you laugh right out loud?
ususally when I am working with people and we take hurtful things and find a way to laugh
Hm… I was thinking more along the lines of belly laughs, like Laurel and Hardy, or Big Bang Theory.
the last time I laughed like that was the NASCAR comedy will will Ferrel on a plane to California. But i dont watch movies much or tv anymore.
Telling the truth of and to my soul has been the hardest and BEST thing I’ve ever done for myself. Thx for the thoughtful post.
I reedited it and did an audio. Dr, Seuss is about all I can manage today. Thank you. It different and difficult but somewhere in it all there is hopefulness
