He was a Steppenwolf or so he thought
not that he knew what that really meant
but it had a certain kind of ring to it
that he found appealing and appropriate.
In actual fact things made little sense
and he had begun to question it all
particularly what he needed to do
in order to provide himself the meanings.
One thing he knew for sure and that was this
that to rely on someone else is fraught
with the potential for disappointment
as each of us pursues our own agendas.
When all is said and done it just remains
to be at one with all but most of all
to be at one with you yourself and know
the rest may not agree or even sometimes care.

So true Bernd, it’s lovely to have people like us and appreciate what we do ( truly wonderful ), however we don’t ’ need ’ it, how we feel inside about ourselves is the true essence of being here and living happy joyous and free.
( Another great poem is called ’ The man in the mirror ‘).

Lovely Poem Bernd!...It’s something that often takes time before the realization that it is not others that we need to impress..but ourselves….and the importance of standing alone on our own accord….not needing others but wanting them….
