Similes

We fell into our
relationship
like a jumper
without his parachute
and we slid into
marriage
like a Porsche
on black ice
And it isn't 
so easy
to end it all.
It's hard to 
climb out of
a well
without a ladder.

 

A Song to Sing

I watched the children laugh and play
I watched them all day long
But though I tried my very best
I could not learn their song.

I walked all day with trees and clouds
I listened to the birds
But though I tried my very best
I could not hear the words.

I walked all day with those I love
I walked with strangers too
And now I know a gentle truth -
The song you best can sing is you.
