Who Knows, Followed By Shoulder Shrug

Observing and experiencing Concepts to explore Where does the wisdom lie Outside or on the shop floor From the outside looking in Chaos can't impede There's clarity of vision To oversee and not misread From the inside, in the fray The nuances are seen Subtle indicators felt Explaining what all the fuss could mean Neither position is perfect Something lost in the translation But listening to both sides Can help with the summation I wish I had the answers To this quandary of mine Just take a step by step approach On the road to being fine

Your poem reminds me of a cat sitting on a wall deciding which side to jump onto. Weighing up the pro and cons, being so polite, happy to sit pleasing everyone looking for the wrong til he finds the right. Knowing you from this poem I see you are a diplomat. Cautiously treading the line of fairness, seeking all information, and diplomatically deciding on which position to take, Most admirable DD I like your poem !

A really good read, DD. Self examination can be difficult. We are all a work in progress. You seem to me to have a pretty good idea od who you are:)

Baby Steps (as my daughter is wont to remind me when I get impatient with things). A good, poem that digs deep into the psyche, DD.
