Listen to poem:
Crossing Messages
Why must it always be this way
sending and receiving mixed messages
it’s simple yet so complicated
We can spend endless time
avoiding the object of obsession
then wonder why the world
seems to be turning upside down
Nothing’s clear other than
realizing it’s complicated
and there’s no attempt to
unravel its ball of knots
As long as the sun comes up
with every morning
there’s still hope
We can still hang on to hope
