The Unimportant

The slowly building Eastern wind
The saying hi to forgotten friend
The making turns when others bend
The soft sorry to make amends

The seed the grows into a tree
The soft reminder you are seen
The question asking where you’ve been
The sticking through when you are mean.

The ripple that turns into wave
The holding in so you behave
The silly secrets, don’t you cave
The little child came to save

The snuggle in the morning breeze
The getting dressed with so much ease
The blessings from that time you sneezed
The little wants try to appease

The saying yes, but feeling no
The feelings in we try to show
The want to stay but need to go
The being kind despite a foe

The village where nobodies from
The fish and bread, to me here come
The unforgiven men the sum
The sacrifice for peace now done

The boy found teaching greater things
The man whose father built great things
The man who sought from lesser things
To turn them all to greater things.

The slowly building summer wind
Increases when we meet a friend
Turn towards them, when they bend
Let kindness be the mutual mend.
