fool

fool, a word, so easy said
rolls off the tongue quick silvered
who is a fool and who is not
is fool to be found in the demeanour
or does attitude shine through
announcing to all, there walks a fool
or is the title fool a cry ringing
in the dark depths of abandoned
was once the fool esteemed, cherished
now spewed from the gut, expelled
with anorexic fervour, unpalatable
dismissed, defeated, purged

There are often times I hear my inner voice chastizing, "old fool". Now I can remember your words and respond, "NOT!"

ahh.

been there, my dear Wolf.

fool is but a vague descriptor...

and is not always appropriate (the Lady knows this well...but sometimes the more proper descriptions would shock..if they fell out of the Lady's mouth)..

do not allow the word fool..to mark you..especially if you have learned...because that, my friend, is ultimately what each life is about...
