Maya … every moment, everywhere— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
my love for … my need for … my wish that….
Rose turns slightly and the axis of my world tilts,
she gives her love or withholds it
and I go staggering drunk with pain or ecstasy.
‘Loving attitude’, Tim said, ‘Find it inside.’
Become immune to Maya … accept and cherish everything
or at least be unflinchingly responsible for it.
The relativity of what comes from outside yourself
is a aspect of the dance you must sway perfectly to.
My physiology, my time, my food, and my attitudes
are much more mine than my running steps can bear.
Unbroken chain, this, welling from inside;
my highest aspirations and my faith.
Let them build moment by moment …
listen to them … become one.

A hundred reasons not to cry -- why
should I feel like I want to die? So much
of me I want to give and so much of life I
want to live.
Number 1 -- it's NOT me. His ex-wife
he'd rather see. Perhaps her hold upon
him now is stronger than when they took
vows.
So hard I try to not let down, I very
seldom make a sound. I do know though the
hurt is real and jealousy I hate to feel.
Am I playing just to win? NO, that would
be too great a sin.
Perhaps I am a risky one to put too
heavy feelings on. Another man in my life
strong and then there's school that's
coming on.
Softly, should I fly away even though
[in] my heart he's stay?
It's true there are no guarantees but
of life's treasures, none come free.

She can’t see it my way
nor can I see it her’s.
She wants to relate to me in a certain way
and I to her in another.
My life is scattered in so many places
I doubt if I could bring it home.
Looking for the common we don’t lack strength
just success.
She’s pretty, smiling, or walking away.
