You say expectations are necessary?
Lord, I wonder what you have learned
Reading all those books
Listening to preachers
Acting like a monk yourself
Those words of yours
Reinstate how worldly you are
Oddly, you should have realised that
Always claiming that you are all-knowing
Educating yourself in the mysteries
But to think that
Would be my expectation of you
So I roll my eyes
And set away into my own world
Expecting nothing of you
For what can you give me anyway?
For I have everything I need
And it’s His/Her will
To decide
If I get more
Or not.

The Light Turns
It's Tuesday 7:13 a.m. A cold and clear November morning awaits Ray on his morning commute. Ray rubs his hands together in the front seat of his Subaru. He turns the air temperature up, but keeps the air on low until the air warms up. He looks at the backup camera screen and reverses the Subaru out of his driveway onto Trimble Road.

The essence lies within us and not in anyone's words. Each person is judged by his actions and his inner being. Very beautiful poem!
I knowwww right! That is so true! Fantastic poem!
