Sanity

October 28, 2009 by Shirley Allard

My world is small
and well contained
Without the burdens
of wealth or fame —
A status quo
that’s well maintained
And well designed
to keep me sane.

Short and lovely.

As wealth and fame are exterior to the person, me thinks none of us can really ever have them.

Also reading this, I’m reminded of the antithesis:

the song
more
by sisters of mercy

“(and I need all the love I can get)
(and I need all the love that I can’t get to)”

Thanks, everyone! I don’t get back here often but it’s nice to find your comments when I do. And Matt, me thinks you’re right! I hope to get around and visit you all soon.
