A recently reworked and reformed (literally..lol) piece about who we are where it matters...
Travelers
I have traveled life's bordered
paths and walked within the center
of muted visions... I have slipped
through the darkened mist even
as I have conversed with light of day,
always aware that to some I was
a square peg in this world of rounded
misconceptions... but somewhere
along the way I have found myself,
between those blurred lines of sight
and blindness, quite content, and have
come to learn that who we are should
not be measured by what we see or hear, but
by what we feel and know within the soul....
perhaps one day my fellow travelers will
come to know this as well, not for my sake
Myrna,
"...a square peg in this world of rounded misconceptions... ..." sets the entire tone for this deeply personal deeply felt poem, and the last five lines express what every thinking person ought to feel and know. Wonderful!

The roads we travel prove to us that we are
not measured by what we seem to be but what
we are... -gene.
