Reasoning has little to do
with pizza, cheese bubbling
beneath the rounds of pepperoni.
It was my supper tonight,
crisp and delicious from my oven.
Reasoning had little to do
with the foaming soap suds
that filled my washing machine
while the spin and turn of the drum
did its job for clean sheets tonight.
Reasoning, not rhetoric, takes me
into my own thoughts, my own ideas.
Thoughts of kindness and honesty.
Ideas born and grown from the myriad
of lessons from my growing up and living.
Reasoning has little to do
with friends that give us a lift
with laughter and visiting about
hairbands or the colour of the sky
at sunset before stars sparkle above.
Reasoning has little to do
with the noise of the world.
Balance between our homes and
the noise of the world can show us
the reasons to be at peace with it all.
“I don’t have to understand the reasons for
the colours of a rainbow to appreciate it beauty.”
~ Wayne Gerard Trotman,
Author of children’s literature, multi-genre
