Good Conversation
Just give me good conversation,
And I will return three-fold.
I do not mean nonstop, interesting topics.
Simply, back and forth, looking-in-the-eye,
Honest, straight-talk, good conversation.
Something we can take from when it has ended.
And paying close attention never hurt,
I do it all the time.
However, if I catch your mind elsewhere,
Do not be surprised, when you return, to find that
I have gone.
For I only share pieces of my mind
With those who share pieces of theirs.
And I can tell when you lie.
It makes me want to put my hands on your temples,
And scream, WHY DO YOU LIE?
Instead, I make you disappear.
But how I love a good conversation.
The feeling of openness between all energies.
So powerful, it can bring laughter, one of life’s greatest pleasures.
So powerful, it can turn strangers into friends for a lifetime.
So powerful, it can unite long-time enemies, and bring peace.
The world needs it, so do not be afraid to give.
Give, simply, back and forth, looking-in-the-eye,
Honest, straight-talk, good conversation.
