Essentials

It seems
Silly to
Believe that
You are
Out there
Watching me
And listening
To each
Little care
That passes
Over my
heart.

You lived
Once and
had your
own worries
and now
that you
no longer
worry it
seems arrogant
to assume
that you
are listening
to anything
I say.

But every
day I
talk to
you in
solitude and
it feels
as if
you do
listen, and
answer back
in that
deep, chocolate-y
voice of
yours. I
believe you
hear me
And I
Believe you
Care.
