It Just Takes One You

mimpi
We live
We live after all that we grudge about
We live after shattered dreams, false hopes, lost aspirations
We live after however insignificant and low we feel we have reduced to
We still live
I still live
Why?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

It just takes

One Don
One Karen, one Nikki,
One Irene, Katy, Kady, Pattie, Kristie,
Deepak, Skye, Penpress, Mags, Cathie,
Lisa, Teresa, Mary, Oonah, Beth, James, Steven,

Mike, Linda, Molly, Deepak, Rajesh, Saikat, Erik, Jai, Beth,

One Viktorya, Fahmida,
One Lauren,
One......

It just takes one you
One whom-I-do not-want-to-miss naming
One whom-I-am-so-stupid-I-would-miss, I know
One who-I-do not-know
But has left lots of love (sometimes scathing censures) on my pages
Yes, one you.

It just takes one you.

You have made feel so insanely lovely! I am flattered and right now feeling much loved. Please accept my love and gratitude. You have been there in my tough times and have always elevated my spirit. You have given me appreciative page loves innumerable times, on all articles - mundane, funny, sad and not so sad ones. This has been an amazing love affair, I tell you.

I want to thank especially Donald Pennington who has an overwhelming role shaking me off the depressive particles and restoring my self esteem. And this again came just in time. Mimpi is well perceived and well penned. Mimpi is much like what he has portrayed, what he feels she is.
Don you made me feel special.

Before this get to sound corny, and of course I get soppy, I must stop.
Kaput.

    This is darling Mimpi. I especially like your use of the lines "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
    The answer is blowin' in the wind. " Such a poignant song and such a great way to reference it!

  • Adam Michael Luebke8/4/2008

    You play with a distinct poetical form in this piece. Very good. Nice work!

  • Donald Pennington8/3/2008

    Yes. I'm sorry. I was wrong. It's certainly not your fault and you are very sweet to have put my name on there too. Thanks again hon. It helps knowing you're somewhere.
