Day 54

[ayoub]

A road that runs
in both directions
a blade that cuts
both ways
not a gift given
with no expectations
rather an honour bestowed
with it's return demanded

Respect

Not entirely true. I respect you without reciprocation expected. But that you do, I respect you that much more :)
Nice poem, got me thinking in circles debating with myself. That's the best kind!

I believe that there's a time limit... if I respect someone, and nothing comes back, then the respect wanes...

Thanks :)

I see how you mean. I was thinking on a different level of respect, much like respect for say... Michelangelo or Einstein. They could never respect me. But face to face respect is a much different sword, and I agree with you completely.

I thought you might :)
