'Seeing Voices' A Poem by Joy

Seeing Voices

Anger is such a nasty thing

Fear is such a hefty thing

Laughter is such a rarity

I just want to say “let it be”.

Remember anger? Let’s just say it’s all around you,

Remember fear? Let’s say it’s within you,

Remember laughter? Let’s just say it’s nowhere near you,

It’s sad really, all these feelings, each one on its own,

Each one pulling you to and fro.

In times of anger

We are at a tar and war

In times of fear

We are in a two by two

In times of laughter

Now, there’s a wonder,

We are in a whole Just for hours.

I wonder, why can’t it be?

Why not be like the flowers?

Why not smile in the sun?

Or play in the moon light?

Or bathe in the glimmer and shimmer of the dawn?

Or just behold the fruits of you or neighbors alike?

Why is there pain from anger so great?

Why is there neglect from fear nearly so faint?

Why is there laughter with power of ten thousand – roaming angels of heaven above?

Why? I just ask why.

Why? I ask, as a type away on this keyboard of mine,

With nearly no words, just a gleam from my little brother

Just his little brows wondering why,

Just with his smile, not knowing, I am typing here,

Nearly close to midnight, about a thing called why.

Why? For Anger is such a nasty thing

Fear is such a hefty thing

Laughter is such a rarity

Now, I just want to say “let it be”.

For I cannot wonder why no more anymore.

MJ, I am always thinking of you ;-)
