Description
MY HOUR OF NEED
The loneliest time of day
Is when all has faded away
And I sit inside my thoughts
And question
If I understood this world
If I could explain it to myself
Then I could find my
Direction
The weakest thought I own
When I contemplate alone
And debate with my energy
That is gone
If I understood my desires
If I could reason with their source
Then I would understand
My course
The hour spent in solitude
That battles with my attitude
And I ponder too much, too often
About me
If I knew the end results
If I didn’t have to wonder
Then my hour of need would
Never be
I KNOW YOU ARE SAD
I was listening to some music
It was soothing to my ears
Then quietly I felt inside
Unknowing tears
Because when you hurt
I do too
For you mean as much to me
As I mean to you
The music moves my mind to think
I know that you are sad
And I would comfort you
If that ability I had
And though through my expression
I know you cannot see
That I know I mean as much to you
As you mean to me

"My hour of need" illustrates so well my belief that we indulge in self-comtemplation too much ... I find it much more therapeutic to look outside and simply take in the world without evaluations or judgements. However, as you so very skilfully point out in your poem, introspection is both seductive and obsessive. It grips and holds so tightly. The second poem is a beautifully wrought description of empathy in action. Both were very good reads. Mike
