A Rose Harmony
Elizabeth ShewanSome notes put together cause dis harmony.
Tis all.
They just do. Not much you can do.
Sometimes it can even shatter, scatter.
Only a change in a note will alter it,
but of both is asking a lot.
A rare thing.
You can only do it yourself.
Cannot control or make another.
Why I even thought it would change after the death of one...
Well, I wasn't thinking sensing was I.
I was doing what I always did.
Thinking the best on behest.
Naive ety.
When I was little
he would always disrupt,
separate,
set the cat amongst the pigeons,
with a smile smirk of innocence,
Mutley snigger along too.
They would always go with,
I would watch and think 'what!?'
'why!'
Like a twit woo I would do.
If only
he would stop …
there would be harmony.
A song we would hum.
But no.
He would always disrupt.
I'd always be blamed
Or shamed
Or told to shut up.
And they go along with
to dance with his tune.
So, when one of them went,
together we rallied,
to help with the mess.
Unthinking ass u me.
But the same kept on and on,
so used to it,
patterns formed.
Disharmony sang.
the whisper behind,
as a team they did always.
Unknown and unseeing
They kept humming their habit.
So I spoke about
Let's say issues,
polite I'd best be.
In hOpe they could see.
But why
oh why
did I think anything
would be different.
I'm brighter than that.
Naive ty again.
A wisdom it flew
Out the window a while.
Crocodile.
So I stand from afar
disengage
now
the tangled web from afar.
And stand where I am
now.
Feet firmly a ground.
A heart deep
Like a rose 🌹
Compassion composed.
Breath deep I do sit
In silence, mostly
repose.
What more can I do.
For now.
But
a harmony hum.
