Insane Design

Don’t know him at all, not really Nor how I feel about him, actually But that’s alright, A snippet of laughter, maybe a moment or two Isn’t that enough? Isn’t that just about enough, for now? I can be all optimistic, And feel that he is someone I can trust someday, But what good will it do me today? Or, I can be a pessimist, And fear he might turn out to be a monster, Hurt me in new ways; make me feel like a fool someday. But what good, pray tell, will it do me today? Maybe I should just be philosophical, And believe that we cross paths with people for a reason It’s part of some great insane design So I should sit back, Wait, watch how the planets align. Quite possible, that this is nothing, really Something that doesn’t hold any meaning, actually. Someone who will become less than a faint memory someday. Though what good indeed, will it do me today? Maybe I think too much, Assign meanings, interpretations to things which have none, Mistake for reality the stories I have myself spun. Maybe I should just try and have fun Isn’t that enough? Isn’t that just about enough, for now?

Early morning reading to get the mind buzzing. Thank you for sharing your excellent poetry Sayeeka. Have a fabulous weekend and I hope to see more of your poetry when I get back to the Soup Monday. Usually pretty busy on the weekends with family so don't get to read much. Love, Carol
