This is a continuation of my Poetry Tumble that began with one line from a poem written by a poet who speaks from within in honesty that may be too much at times for some – perhaps because we see ourselves? It was a beautiful line – and though I would like to say all my words were as beautiful as his line I chose to use, well, many weren’t.
Each time a whim or boredom captures my attention, I revisit the last line of the previous poem in the series and use it as the first. Sometimes the two poems connect, often they do not, that is the fun in it for me, they go wherever they wish. I do not plan them – and sometimes dislike where they go, but I love doing it. His beautiful poem is reprinted with permission on my Poetry Tumble page – and for those curious enough to see all the places his line led me, his and all twenty-six of mine are found in order written here.

The Key
at relationships of the human kind
we sometimes scoff
or throw our hands upnot needed
too much effort unrewarded
no time
why bother?until the day
we are needed
and appreciated
and wantedand found
by another human beingour books, computers, hobbies, studies
take a back seat from their place at our sideour dogs, cats, fish, and birds
hear stories told in a different voiceone that comes from
an unlocked heart.MeeAugraphie

Oh Marcia, this is beautiful.
There have been many times I’ve wanted to tell people to just open up their heart and they’ll find what they didn’t think existed.
And then I wonder if I even have the key myself to open my own.

this is something that i struggle with.. i want to do only for myself,, and be left alone… i want so much to feel genuinely more willing to give,, but i tell you,, it is a daily struggle ….
this poem speaks to me of the kindness of your heart….
