What I'm Doing This Summer

They say that it's best for the author to not explain poems, and in this case I agree with them. I will just say that these were written before, during, and after a dear friend's wedding ceremony I attended yesterday.

We all seek control

From whatever side we're on

G-d please redeem us

People change over

after you get to know them

or is it just you?

It seems a struggle

Real vs. professional

They must be made one

Sociopathic:

Some rabbis perceived this way

Rabbis, please stop it

Is it natural

For two people to unite?

Myriads say yes

Bride and groom are bound

by the one and only G-d's

holy tradition

Try not to say "I"

More-so not to think of "I"

When you serve others

I cry at weddings

and sometimes when the rain falls:

firework moments.

There will always be

People that we just can't have

We always have us

Does husband or wife

become your number one friend?

Yes, no, I don't know.

"It's nice to be nice."

Sometimes cliche's can be true

"Could happen to you."

---------------------------------

We each seek relief

It's relief we seek

As a daily tweak

Or at end of week

At our peak

Or When weak

It's relief we seek

We each seek relief

How long happiness

How long life

How long happy times

for husbands and wives?

How long tragedy

How long disdain

How long time of grief

How long psychic pain?
