It's all the same thing

Seeing the wind blow.
Or seeing the evidence of the wind.
It's all the same thing.

Watching a plant grow.
Or reaping the benefit of the seed.
It's all the same thing.

Walking in shadows.
Or hiding behind the skirts of men.
It's all the same thing.

Maybe it is so.
And maybe it's yet to be revealed.
It's all the same thing.

Teddy Bear

Take heart, teddy bear.
Your beady eyes keep you wide awake.
Into the dark night you stare.
Waiting, perhaps, to be loved.

Take heart, teddy bear.
Your smile invites many hugs
From lonely hearts that have nothing to give
And will leave you lying here.

Take heart, teddy bear.
You fluff leaves your heart encased
In vulnerability and expectation
Breaking with every lonely stare.

Take heart, teddy bear.
You'll always be loved
But no one will ever stay
Because you will never be enough.
