Power of One

SONNET-IN-PROCESS: Power of One Words of concern, friendship, simple chatter Will keep one from those dear, dear therapists The power of your talk, a small matter, Is oft the thinnest thread this side of death We talked before machine and computer And designer handbags, shoes, and cellphones That wisdom of grandma, uncles, neighbor Great sounding boards (old friends) now mostly gone We can't know how one call is a Savior On obscure small-scale, where human beings dwell One word of support, admitting error May save sanity in saints under spell So, human neighbor, “human being” is right: “Human” the dance - dancer is "Being” in delight

thank U dear ladies. As a tribute (posted) I celebrated religion without priests, when the sacred work with CLAY was done only by women (among the Bantu) and the evidence is both lingusitic & archeological (BAntu roots, prefixes, suffixes). shalom, shalom Dear Ones
