A FREE VERSE POEM

I think that I am clever, most likely I am not, neither my thoughts nor words stand out.

In my own little world I might stay, better to pass my hours, chasing weeds in the garden.

There I can water, and tend them in the morning, talk as if they understand; while they listen in the shade.

This place is where I matter, you could say that I belong, tucked out of the way, not so great a bother.

There is little more that makes a lasting sense to my listless soul, in this world full of grifters.

So I might just stay in my own little world,

and learn to settle here.

Thank you for taking the time to read! I deeply appreciate your support.
