My Song – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

“Love is a friendship set to music.” Hermann Hesse 

My Song

My mind is a wound,
a volatile distress,
how does one love,
a look for agreement or
an acceptance of difference,
a knowing of weaknesses,
the hiding of truths,
what begins it and then,
how does one keep it?
All I know is to stumble 
through with kindness as
my song with no lyric of
indulgence or self.

    If all you know is to stumble through with kindness…that is more than enough.

    I particularly like the following lines:

    All I know is to stumble
    through with kindness as
    my song

    To know our song, we should stop looking and simply offer.
