Fine

sylviasearcher

orlorn like a leaf, slowly accepting the breeze beneath.

I ndefinate as I change my shade, in response to the season's love and rage.

othing as I slowly disappear, in mud and dirt and waters clear.

ndless as I slip away, and feed the soils that end my days.

 

And so when you enquire, how are you?

Then this fine word will leave no clue

As to how I feel inside

But such is how you taught me hide

 

With each day as I arise

And when I embrace my last demise 

Be reassured, I'm fine my dear

Because that is all you need to hear.

    I suppose it's all we can say, and do say, in reply to some people's 'How are you?' only knowing some people on a surface level.
    We wouldn't say to everyone: 'Well, actually I'm not OK', and then give them a 3 hour (or apx?)explanation of how we really are!

    • sylviasearcher

      Yes indeed we are false because society demands it. I just wish people would simply use a different salutation.
      Also I personally say these words more so to my nearest and dearest.

      Even worse is 'Not so bad@. But either way they are both quite inane responses. Fine write.

        Sometimes I shock people by giving an answer closer to the truth!

        • Michael Edwards

          My favourite response when being asked how I am (and forgive me here but I just peoples faces when I use it) ) is to reply:
          'Not so duckin' fusty'.

          🙂

            Maybe one day I will try that one! 🙃

            • Michael Edwards

              I dare you!

              I'm so familiar with this picture. Many my age are. Beautifully written. Thankfully things are changing.

              I get your message sylviasearcher, how could I not.... fine is okay when applied to the weather...however as a response when asked how one feels or for an opinion, it means very little... I enjoyed reading and digesting these words.. very much so Neville
