Do You Know Me? ? ? ? ? Poem by William Lindenmuth

Do you really know me?
There isn't much to know
A truly simple person
Going with the ebb and flow
Like a lost wave on the ocean
Rolling toward the shore
Breaking on a sandy beach
Could I ask for something more
Color me optimistic
With subtle shades of dismay
To maintain a sense of balance
With the blessings of another day
Do you know me from the inside
Those secrets that dwell within
Where thoughts are never ending
Never knowing where they begin
A single thought invites me
To other thoughts released
They cleanse my inner being
And bring a sense of peace
Do you really know me?
As time just drifts on by
Spreading wings and memories
On gossamer wings they fly
Each day becomes a blessing
Every moment lends us much more
With a chance to be that wandering wave
That finally comes ashore
