Kindred

Bonnie, the wanderer, and my 'Little Wing' girl.

Kindred

3/13/10

As I grow older,

become more refined 'me'

knowing my inner workings

of what's really important

on core structural level,

even though it contrasts

societal norms, common sense,

in immediate economic climate,

I meet familiar people,

young and old alike,

who reinforce my thinking,

are pushing edges also,

against the status quo

that creates such suffering

through it's careless disregard

wanting to maintain power

plus position in world,

and I understand that,

people abhor losing ground

after having worked hard

attaining some material fruits,

their sense of security,

for themselves, family, community,

yet it's all fragile

can be lost quickly

due to health, catastrophe,

those unforeseen future turns

which remind great worth

of befriending kindred spirits.
