The Truth

The Truth

by Sally Michelle Jackson

So many times I hear people say

they want to hear the truth today.

I have to ask please make that clear

is it just the truth that you long to hear?

The reasons come back and so very loud

there is only one truth, that's all that's allowed.

But there is the truth that you have and see

which just isn't the truth that speaks to me.

We each hold in our heart and mind

an image of truth which our lives define.

But the truth for you is clouded as a dark crystal to me

while my truth is bright and glistens like sunlight on the sea.

How can this be there is only one truth and that is all

but if that is true then we must answer that same call.

We are all different you and me and there is a reason for all to see,

we are all different and within the difference is the very reason to be.

Wow, that was quick, were you reading over my shoulder while I wrote this?

Thank you so much, I don't get much encouragement about poetry in my day to day mundaine life, so I post it here with all of my true friends.

Love ya,

Sally

Actually... yes i was reading over your shoulder. im right behind you. JEEPERS just turn around

your very welcome by the way!! I wish i had the mind for writing decent poetry. im not creative enough

[Guest ~Brenda~]

Dearest Sally,

Once again you have shown how just incredibly wise and sensitive you are. You must add this poem to your book of poems!! The truth?? Yes we may all express it differently from each other, but the single truth remains... We are all here, here at Laura's. The single truth that brings us all here is that we are all gender-gifted, and we have all found our way here. I cannot think of a greater singularity of truth than that!!

Love

I could never write a poem and i tried for years, but I embraced who I really was and one night I wrote a poem for a very dear friend here and others said that it was good and that was all I needed to hear, I now get a small notion often from posts that I have read and I write a poem, they want to be recorded so I type them.

Feel who you really are and love that person and write what you feel at that moment it has to be good!

Dearest Sally,

**Sneaks in, reads the poetry, smiles, gives ya a wink, smile , and is off.

We are all different you and me and there is a reason for all to see,

we are all different and within the difference is the very reason to be

My glib answer would be "ain't it the truth!"

But I won't do that.

Instead I will say - within the difference is the very reason to be - there you are!

And Sally - we are ALWAYS looking over your shoulder in a sense. We care and worry and want to make certain you know we are listening to what you say - and how you are. And that...

wellll...

You love us?

And we love you...

I think I recall reading an old post, where you said you would publish your poetry...

--I would buy at least one copy!! *nods furiously*

[Sally]

It is a dream of mine, but I need to write several more and I don't decide when or what to write - it just comes to me and I place it here.
