Disingenuous

I wonder how your
arms can reach out when 
your eyes speak nothing 
of love; I ponder
the limits of faith;

I reflect on
your devotion
and contemplate
what you mean when

you tell me
that I should
focus on

only
what is

real

Very personal. Some people are difficult to understand indeed. Complex write. Get something different every time I reread it, but the main message is clear. Love, Shar

Very well written, and in perfect form. What another person thinks is real is not always what we see as real. Very real emotion throughout this.....Linda
