The trepidation we often face when we’re unsure of another’s message is a natural response. Often we worry we might insult another or appear ourselves as somehow deficient if we request clarification. And yet, the most apparent and easy resolution to uncertainty is to ask for further information. This poem lightly pokes fun at miscommunication and how it impacts our ego.
Title: Fumbled Thoughts
Did my ears deceive
my wandering mind?
it seems apparent to me
your message was far from reason
or rhyme.
Should i stand in angst
as my eyes reflect
i’m clearly in a confusion state?
My innards are quivering
and my feet are shivering
but i just can bring myself to question
your verbal jibbering.
But given a moment to playback your words
Oh the pardon, i now do beg
seems my ears were plugged with other thoughts
and the error
was clearly
yours
not!

for years I have been
wandering the world
traveling everywhere
looking for answers
to the age old question
that I am afraid to ask
what does it all mean
and why are we here
the universe is silent
refuses to answer my questions
and God if he exists
does not respond
to my prayers
and questions
and I am left alone
to wonder
what does it all mean
and why am I here
