reminder

I am reminded time & again

what I thought was real wasn't real at all

nothing is quite as it is told

it is definitely not how it is sold

& you stand there wanting more from me
the more I see the more I learn
the less i wish to try
i really have to say goodbye

everything come to pass
some times what was
is not what is
and what is
is not quite what you expected it to be

There was a 'there & then'
and
there is a 'here & now'

there's you

and
there's me
there's no we.

Bear of Little Brain

When you are a Bear
of Very Little Brain,
and you Think of Things,
you find sometimes
that a Thing which seemed
very Thingish inside you
is quite different
when it gets out into the open
and has other people looking at it.

W. T. Pooh (A. A. Milne)
