Life is nothing like I thought it would be
I wonder if life is like this for you
I never imagined complexity
Could be this beautiful if scary too
I suppose this must be reality
The consequences of the things we do

This reality feels unreal to me

I only take what touches me as true
You touch me in the dark until I see
Replacing old complexity with new
More beautiful if scary than before
But I am not complaining since I seek
To touch reality beyond this week

Nothing like I thought it would be but more

Steven,

I would just like to let you know that your poetry/words/thoughts are an inspiration for me
to try and write and express what I feel. Thank you for the difference you make and the
willingness to share.

Steve (Culture)

My heart is touched! By yours!

Thank you for your lifting, rising words, my dear friend and fellow poet.

As I say on the back cover of one of my books:

"I have not lived in vain but lived for this"

Respect and solidarity,

+Stevie
