It’s so easy.
The sweet words and powerful quotes.
The smiles and reaching out.
It’s so easy to believe in fairy godmothers and forgiving friends and love that travels across a world just to reach you.
It’s so easy.
The strangling silence and whispers floating through the air.
The turning away and shaking off of the dust.
It’s so easy to believe in people and goodness and kind hearts that open up just because.
It’s so easy.
To ignore your words and never change your actions.
The looking around and over and under, whatever it takes to avoid.
It’s so easy to believe in long walks and falling stars and wishes in the night.
It’s so easy to forget.
It’s so easy to remember.
It’s so easy to hear your silence.
It’s so easy to wish for better days.
It’s so easy to leave and never look back and laugh at your own choice.
It’s so easy to look for your somewhere over the rainbow.
It’s so easy to see me when I’m weak.
It’s so easy to stop and walk away.
It will be so easy.
So beautiful
Thank you so much for visiting and reading.
Beautiful write…!
Thank you my friend.
Coincidentally, I just uploaded a photo yesterday to FB from one of my walks: a rainbow I saw. Needless to say, I absolutely love your poem, Becky!
Thank you… I’ll run over and look at your pictures!
I love the feel of this. There is a gentle acceptance of all situations in this, and the repetition makes it almost meditative. I like the shift in the last line: from present tense to future tense. I love that it is happy, but not in a bubble-headed way. Hope you are the same, love Moskowitz
Ha! “not in a bubble sort of way” made me smile. I’m sure I’ve never been bubble headedly giddy.
thank you Mosk!
Never enough of fairy godmothers & forgiving friends. Kind thoughts here. Thank you…
Thank you for being here to read and for being encouraging.
Oh, I hate endings unless they are desired of course. This is very powerful, gentle, resigned.
A sad but, lovely read.
Thank you. I think it is a bit sad too, in an assertive way… maybe.
whew…that last line…brings this to a screeching halt…all the rest is easy but then again just cause its easy dont mean they will do it…
Right! Thank you.
yeah, right, keep telling yourself it will be easy, maybe you will convince yourself!!! LOL
See? Right.
The message I get is that it’s all good and “we” can make it, then we run out of steam, and it’s over. Maybe I missed the intent, but that’s how this feels to me.
Obviously, a thought provoking piece.
I love it when you tell me what you think because then I reread it and think about it differently. Thank you Charles.
I think that’s what poetry is about. We know (most of the time) what we meant to say, but it is always interesting to see what the reader comes away with. My poetry is usually pretty straight forward, and what I say is exactly what I mean. It amazes me to see how others “interpret” what I’ve written.
I know. I often look so forward to the comments just to see what others take on the words is. Thanks!
I like the underlying theme that none of this is easy…one day we are here, the next day we are there, like sunshine and rain and rainbows. It’s never easy, it’s always easy. It’s life. I really love this.
Thank you Kelly… this is exactly my point.
So easy to look at it I must say, but nothing is ever easy if it is right and must be done. Then again it is easy to pick the right thing, so guess easy come easy go.
Thank you Pat. Easy come, easy go…. ahhh, if it were so easy!
it all seems to be so easy…but never is..food for thought in this..and then the decision at the end.. felt
Thank you Claudia, I so appreciate your comments.
one thing i know for certain…
it’s so easy to love you!
