Trust
By Tatiana Pahlen

Why do we let the passing pals
Pry into our lives?
A smooth conversation,
Honeyed flattery,
or slapping hands with high fives?
There is no comprehension!

The new interaction, like a sore thumb;
Can we pull out this splinter
Without scarring our souls
And let out the critters?
Say goodbye to a gasping Fall
And welcome a crispy Winter!

While cozying up with folks on the road
Root out their hidden agenda.
What’s behind their fervent appeal
Bringing them on your path?
Avoid betrayal and vexation;
Stick with the ones you can trust!
