The Real Things

just a little pondering….
that came with a melody
but i can’t make it sing
on here

The Real Things belongs to the following groups:

All About Your Best Work, All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Everyday Life, Masterpieces: Literary Workshop, Melbourne & Victoria, Self as Other, Something To Say, The Healing Journey, The Word Tree, Unconventional Artistry - 3 per day, WMG and You're Accepted

It’s these things
We feel
That make us
Real
So don’t
be afraid
To let me know

It’s these things
I think
That make us
Things that think
That we know
But we don’t know

It’s the whys
we see
When perhaps all
We
Should see
Is a little beauty

It’s these things
I think
That make us
Things that think
That we know
But we don’t know

Cause how could we?
With so many different beliefs?
How can you be sure
That you’ll get
What you’re working for?

Please wave, if you happen, to see me

Cause it’s these things
We feel
That make us
Real
So don’t
Be afraid
To let me know

    really nice, I especially like the line, “It’s the whys we see When perhaps all We Should see
    Is a little beauty.” It says so much more than what you read at face value. beautiful!

  • Hayley Cafarella replied

    thank you! That part actually inspired the whole thing…it was something that resonated with me after I saw “Man On Wire”...which I could not recommend more if you haven’t seen it :)

  • Hayley Cafarella replied

    Beautiful!! I love the simplicity and the way this paces me as a reader. And, I love that it is a verysimple truth. . . insightfully expressed and so deep and so clear.

    Thank you!! I am always trying to break things down in my head…I tend to think a lot of things are perceived as really complicated when they are really quite simple if you look at the parts… xoxo
