IT'S JUST A SHOW

TV shows can be larger than life.

---

I watched a TV show
and found my love,
Demeter, red-haired goddess,
tender of heart,
taking on others' sadness and happiness,
enfolding me and my dreams,
teaching me that love is art.

I watched a TV show
and found my friends,
in couples and singly,
friends who can challenge,
friends who can support.

I watched a TV show
and found a world.
Greece with a New Zealand flavor
brought Charleston and Chicago,
Los Angeles and Washington,
Vancouver and New York.

I watched a TV show
and found writing.
As questions fired stories and poems,
a dream became a hobby
and someday may grow into more.

I watched a TV show.

I watched a TV show,
and found

myself.
