Gurd

woman closing her eyes with leaves on her shoulder

Too cracked up for high jokes and too serious for side notes.

Open to what I tote and yet still so quick to croak.

A deal ain’t nothing real until it’s real as what you feel,

If the tonic is what I wanted my spirit be truly stunted.

Since the gurd is just a word as long as its spoken, written, or heard,

The smoke that fans out from the flames as pins that prick to make they claim.

I guess it’s true for what I may or may not do my happiness can do it to,

To spend and not to lend and to share with those I care.

There are a number of ways to describe myself but none will ever do justice if any were actually due. My history tells it all and can be best summed by this quote. "...it is not you that is mortal but your body. You are not what your physical shape reveals, but each person is his mind, not the body that a finger can point at." Cicero, On The Commonwealth (54 BCE)
