Sarah Flanigan - Poetry Simply Put

Aug 26 2008

I Was, I Am

I was, I am
and that
never changed
but I did

I leapt and I spun
but the new shoes
never quite fit
Bare feet are best

A floppy hat
and garden gloves
teach me more
than my recent travels
and books of foreign text

Beer is better than
martinis
no fruit, thank you
A tattered map
leads me home

The ocean is
my compass to peace
No voice
changes
That

Beer is definantly better.

why yes it is, darlin’ - although a martini can be dirty. sarah

I’m going to keep looking like it says at the bottom of the page.

Look and you will find.
Look what I found.

~~~~I was, I am
and that
never changed
but I did~~~~

I love that, thank-you for words for a beautiful Sunday Morning.
Love
Di

hello dearest lady,
i’m glad you are loving what you find here and that you are looking for things to find. and remarkably i received something ever so lovely in the mail yesterday that touched my heart. so thank you so very much.

I love who you are - You never changed - They did. x
Love Di

hi di,
maybe you’re right - but this was written a while ago. and things always change, even we do.
love
