okay:

                            pictures in a gallery…
                            everyone is looking
                            for the deeper meaning.
                            but sometimes, a tree
                            is just a tree
                            and that’s okay.

        castles in the sand…
        don’t worry if the waves
        take them back out to sea.
        sometimes, i build them
        just to watch them fall
        and that’s okay.

        whispers in a rain storm…
        are lost between the drops
        and the crashing thunder.
        and sometimes, silence
        speaks the loudest of all.
        and that’s okay.
