Right Here in Me


Right Here in Me

…………………………………….
                            Right Here in Me 

Are we not often looking to the obscure or fantastic to entertain us,
and reveal some secret meaning to our sometimes troubled existence?

If so, I will learn to whisper,
“What is my life, is fine with me.”

Two biceps or one,
is better than none.

Sad, confused memories of a friendship or love betrayed
are the rich experience of a life not only dreamed, but lived.

In the paradoxical prison of my own relative wealth and freedom,
I am director and main grip in this play.

Awareness constantly reminds me
how often I forget one for the other.

Even death cannot erase my history’s authenticity.
I am immediately empowered whenever I embrace the bald and colored truth of me.

Brenneman T. August 3, 2002
