a dollar

May 22nd, 2013 § 0 comments

Poem #129 for Sara Ferguson

 

It’s about changing perspective

about realizing how much more I have to give

one dollar at a time

it goes beyond the value

 

It’s about reshaping the mind

to understand the insignificance of what is considered worth

while finding greater worth where risk would never dare to go

 

It’s never about what it says it is

underneath everything is a complex story

questions that beget questions

the building blocks of confidence needed

when stepping out from one life into another

 

It’s about answering those inquiries

standing up to those doubts

marching past rejection as only a barren patch in the grass

patiently, with no anger, no mirrors, no judgment

 

One dollar means that there are still people

who are connected to a selflessness

dedicated to creation and trust

who understand that sometimes

the answer to the question

is faith in the human being

who understand

life is a slow process

and that it is our obligation

to support it
