Close up pic of one of the piano's on the 16th street mall that was painted by the extremely talented Naomi Haverland
It's easy enough to be done with something or someone
The tricky thing is to be able to take another look
Maybe from a different perspective
And reconsider
Of course that requires one to reexamine
All the facts of the situation
Carefully
Some people are capable of being extremely fickle
With their attentions, affections, attractions and such
Opinions and decisions changing
Like the summer weather in Falkirk
Never pausing to reflect on the long-term repercussions
They are slaves to the moment
Pathetically
In youth, vacillation is the norm, for we know not our selves
With the years, if we are fortunate, we learn to stay true
To those that are real
To that which we can trust
There are those unfortunates who never learn to be either
And so they are lost to all
Eventually
Thanks for featuring the picture of my piano on your blog with your poem!
ReplyDeleteI found it by googling my name.
Thank you for painting that piano - it adds immensely to the 16th street mall!
