Poetry: Reality

by Wanda George

Created on: March 24, 2010

a quote comes to mind  


that says rumors of their death

have been greatly

exaggerated  


in my case, rumors of my life

have been greatly

exaggerated

i will be the first to admit

i made several bad

decisions  


as it is, i did own my mistakes

and faced

consequences  


since, living down

the perceptions of others

persists  


and when i look

at the few i care to know my

truth  


i see you in my past

and hurt filled my heart with

regret  


life gave me a chance

to revisit a time so vividly

remembered  


the importance of

our time was not realized until

maturity  


my spirit has been

renewed by the acceptance you

bestow  


and your ability to see

with clarity is hopeful for better

tomorrows   


healing along with

an opportunity for you to see

my"Self" 


was found when i saw you

for a casual 8 hour lunch

reunion  


the rumors are far more

intersting than truth of

matters  


for in reality i spend

a great deal of time in

introspection  


and seeking the guidance

of God to be the best

possible  


to myself and those

i love and meet as if

Angels  


are in my presence

each time i cross paths with

anyone/thing  


for i find living with love

for everyone and my"Self"

enough  


to sustain my spirit

and fill my heart with more

joy  


than sorrow although

imperfect as life may be

repeatedly  


so i hope you do not think

me too presumptuous to

express  


my gratitude and feelings

about life returning us

together  


regardless of tomorrow

i am satisfied to know

today  


that you are more imortant

to me than when we were

young  


only this time i am certain

of who i am and how to

stand  


on what i want, what i

believe, how i feel,

regardless  


of outside influences

or opinions of which

abound  


while my need for

privacy contributed

greatly  


to sordid stories

of my life and

yours  


it is my great pleasure

to know you now and you know

me  


your simplicity and depth

are more than i would have

imagined  


and i want to say how

very happy i am in the

now
