I care

A personal poem

Share

I am suffering

There is no action

Yesterday was the lesson

Where do I start

Why do I care?

I am the nurse in Sydney

I am the receptionist in Santiago

I am the executive in Stockholm

I am you

But our thoughts divide us

A thought shifts in seconds

Across the realms

Will the planet support me

Is that even the question

How can I support you?

We disagree

We can’t tolerate our differences

We can’t accept our responsibilities

Time, time, time

It doesn’t care

A tree

In a field

Quietly working

Beauty and meaning

She cares.
