Finding My Voice

[johnjgeddes]

Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.
Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment is intuition.
—Rumi

You tell me
I’m obsessed
With rain.

Do you wonder
Why Picasso
Got stuck in blue,

Or Hardy
Was morose,
Preoccupied
With ghosts?

I don’t know—
Who does?

I tried to be Frost;
It didn’t work out,

So I got my own pain;
And stuck with rain.

But like everything else,
It comes with a cost.
