nor do I trust the sweet honey bee's
or the nightingale's that sing
I can't trust anything that moves
nor the very shaking of the tree's
so forget the magnificent cypress
and the pine
a lesson in life
I don't trust a thing
not even the soft wind on my cheeks
and as I look up to the stars
I don't trust them either
is the sky falling down?
I stand still to see
clouds are moving fast
is the great moon winking at me?
is it my imagination
playing tricks to see?
I just don't trust a thing
and I don't know
if I ever really will again?

A most mournful poem that strikes to the heart. Have felt this way and been there. As I have always maintained, anything that strikes the heart in any way is poetry. Lovely
Thank you so much dearest sorrenbarret your words not only humble my heart but humble my soul, I am always honoured to hear your thoughts of my poetry. Thank you dear friend. 🌹
Good write, good read, Teddy
Thank you dear Jerry, always a treat to see you on my pages. 🌹
There may quite possibly be a relevant entry in DSM5 - ask Neville , he may be able to provide some advice.
In the meantime, an intriguing write, Teddy.
Dearest Dave, the first part of your review has unfortunately gone over my head as they sometimes do as for your last lines, intriguing yes if you have ever felt distrust or loss for any reason in life, I'm sure this would apply. Thank you dear friend. 🌹
Sometimes in life, it gets so rough, that we stop trusting. Well done, sweet Teddy.
Thank you dear Thomas for your wonderful understanding of this one, I'm currently at the sea and I always seem less myself, I never understood why, maybe I was one of those who drowned for real on titanic. 🌹
Sad yet beautiful poem ..
Thank you sweet rose. 🌹
losing trust in people....
a subject I am very close to Teddy.
I couldn't have written it any better.
See having others who are so transparent and with whom I can share every thought just warms my soul dear Melvin, I cannot thank you enough dearest friend. 🌹
I share your sentiment Teddy, trust seems to be a word missing from our vocabulary these days. Beautifully expressed my friend.
So we'll said right back at you dear friend. 🌹 Sad but true ❤️
I was feeling helpless today and your poem hit me hard. It's a feeling not exactly like mine, but I surely felt the tone of your poem A beautifully expressed poem of trust and the loss of it. - Phil A.
My dear Phil, thank you, for your honesty and I do hope the moment will pass soon. A very kind review and most grateful to you, I never know how my work will be received but somehow always with truly wonderful reviews. Thank you dear friend, you are not alone. 🌹
Wow, I thought I was negative. I agree and appreciate a fellow pessimist. Good work.
lol thank you we as writers must be as diverse as possible I do believe, I've been reading Sylvia Plath, and this is what has been coming to my muse, although when I am away at the sea as i now, i Always feel so much less sicure. I've always been the same. Thank you dear Dan. 🌹
Very sad words Teddy, I do hope that this is just some very good words and not the way you really feel.
