The similar and familiar

The similar to, familiar, and almost but not quite,

can’t open doors to anything or anywhere at all

and I wait outside a stranger to truth and honesty

similar to, familiar, and almost but not quite,

the poor of Africa awaiting their hand-outs.

And too I know of dreams and needing to be free

unshackled to the similar, familiar,

and almost but not quite

reason for my life.

As twilight faces night so too I brave the dark

similar to, familiar, and almost but not quite,

a miner underground denied the feel of air,

tingling, sending ripples, like the touch of love

when the girl of then thought to live again.


Similar to, familiar, and almost but not quite,

and the genuine, authentic, a mere candle in the dark,

dies a stranger still to the awesome power within

that could have been, could have done,

and could have really loved,

in the full complete beauty of

truth and honesty.

And that today is life; similar to, familiar,

and almost but not quite,

the way it’s meant to be!
