I have to share a few thoughts on this poem I wrote.  I actually wrote this months ago and yes, I was there in my favorite cafe with my headphones on when I suddenly realized how isolated I was from the world, that’s when these words came to me.  I was reminded of them again this week in NYC when I was in a cafe and noticed that even if I wanted to have a conversation with someone, I couldn’t.  Everyone was on their smartphone or laptop and in their own safe cocoon.  How do we break through these techno-bubbles to really connect with a new person? Think about it and then share your thoughts with me.  XOXO Sandy
Safe
want and desire
want and desire
they have schemed again with my mind
the great and mighty judge
to put me in my place
and keep me right where i belong
alone with my feelings
not good enough
not worthy of love
here i am wrapped up in my self-made
cocoon
of iTunes
ear buds in my ear
hands on my Apple
in the midst of a crowded
bustling Cafe Brazil
this is sunday brunch for me
nice and safe
no communication
no intimacy
no one can see me
just want and desire
i don’t have to expose who i really am
i don’t have to have a conversation
no eye contact for god’s sake
just good observation
safe here with my esteemed judge
alone with my favorite guys
want and desire
nice and safe
tucked away where no one can get to me
and where i certainly can’t get to anyone

My Companion
Sail with me, will you?
into a world we have never known
into the mystic
I want to know you there
where our cares are shrouded in the fog
home is calling
come on mister
can you hear it?
Hold my hand like you have no fear
I will be your map
Be my captive in the mist, in the waves
be my balance
Don’t fear the journey
I want you there with me
will you come?
Sail with me
Two hearts stitched in love
our billowing weathered canvas
embracing the winds
guiding us into that mystical place
one sail
one rudder
one vast garden of life
carrying our souls together
where there is no question
only trust, love,
and an unwavering compass
are you up for this journey
will you be my captain?
