Complicate it

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

Oh my
Look what I started
It might just be the best thing I have ever  done
It’s complicated…
NO IT’S NOT!
It’s so uncomplicated
my fingers are itching to complicate it...
Now…..
If I can simply stay out of my way
I think this is the way to go.
Point me in the right direction
and give me a little nudge
I dare you
NO!
I double-dare you!

I’m leading the way
with a trembling heart
Pushing my boundaries further
and further…
Beyond where I have never gone before.
One has to wonder
Yes. I have to ask myself that question
What is it with simplicity that scares me so
at times?
I think it’s time to uncomplicate
this complication of mine
And I think that in the end
That might just turn out to be
the most complicated thing
I have ever done

Elisabeth,
I like what you do here; I like the repetitions, the drive, the idea of process, the doubting, the challenges you imply.
