Poetry Posted by sylvia on Wednesday, December 14, 2005 (17:33:47)

By Brian Henson



If only I had known from in the early days in life

The years of mystery would not be there;

If only I had known, and read, and understood it all,

Then I would never say "There ain't a prayer!"



If only I had known about this descriptive term or phrase,

About this way of seeing things askew;

If only I had known, back then, that I was not alone,

Then contact would be there for me and you.



But I did not have any way to find the unknown key,

As no one else at that time had a clue;

However, since I have found out about this way of life,

That has brought us together--me and you.



We see the world so differently, ...seems strange to even us;

But in it we are still alive and fair.

Some day, when we look back upon the days of our own lives,

We'll wonder why we even had a care...



So different is this way of life, that no one can describe

Just how the person sees the river flow,

Nor how the person hears the lark or rustle of the leaves,

As everything is sudden, but still slow.



The competition's just not there, nor is the need to crave;

The need to claim possession is unknown;

And each small blade of grass is seen as life unto itself,

As every whisper is felt to the bone.



As we adapt to this new way of being in this life,

And with it, show our empathetic side,

We'll not be short of friends, and we will sense the growth of hope,

With all of mother nature on our side...
