my friend

by Charlie Morgan

my friend asked me,
who must count every raindrop?
the ocean,
or the sky?

i look at him, he is wise;
i think, does he really not know?
i bet he does, he's not telling.
that's just like him.

hiding behind the truth.

Isn't it amazing how truth can manage to hide from hungry eyes all the while standing (and shouting!) out in the wide open of no disguise. Love this!

That's easy, I do. I started just after I found my true love from late high school had just married and she never told me till after the fact. Or are those tears I count? Good write Charlie.

I wonder too, so often. What do people know, what are they conscious of, and what is just in them...

That first paragraph is one of the most clever things I think I've ever read. This is outstanding. You continue to impress.

Oh such philosophy can be a conundrum but you pose your questions well my friend. smh

Very deep and touching... almost Zen! Nicely expressed Chaz.

What a great question/poem. Again, like a cunning pirate, find the hidden human treasure, claim it in your heart and then your pen shares the wealth.

A clever look inside our minds and how we reason, and what we ask. Thank you, Charlie.

Nice one Charlie. Well worded reminder that we can often underestimate the intelligence/wisdom of those around us, or at least wonder if they're playing with us by playing stupid. Congrats also on hitting No. 1; nice to see what can happen when people go to the trouble of voting for fellow members.
