Silence Cheese
G.K. Chesterton once wrote “Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.”
Cheese
How many kinds…
Exceed the appetite
Emotions and sensations
Succulent taste
Exquisite with wine

Listen
“Just be still, and listen”…
Only love brings peace
Patience helps you grow
Open your ears
Close your mouth
Listen one another
Understand
And…
Respect!

I’m here
“I am begging: Let me be lonely but not invisible.” – Natalie Diaz-
Let me tell you my feelings
Let me know if you want me
But don’t ignore me
I’m real
Not a puppet
I am here
You can call me
But don’t ignore me!

Fruit salad
Green pear and orange
Set in a fine golden platter
Delicious display

Why
I wonder what happened
I don’t know why…
Time passes by so fast
I learned the difference
When to say…Yes!
And when to say… No!
