You Write Poetry

YOU write poetry?
Shocked face.
Never being fond of this one in any way,
I nod a teensy bit.
I am sure she disbelieves me.
I have never been overly kind or friendly toward her.
And I am not the flowery, moonbeam, lace and roses type.
She says it again. Emphasizing the YOU.
I pretend to smile.

I do believe it is. I am shocked at the people who do not READ ANYTHING I write - mostly in my own family.

I do not share myself with disbelievers. They take too much energy.

This has an organic feel to it. I sense it verges on a potential friendship. Sometimes moments like this allow us to see the person from God’s perspective. My hope is that judgements were placed aside by both. Hugs Rick.

Yes and sometimes they remind me to run the next time I see her coming. Chuckle. Chuckle.
