Stephon Marbury answers questions at Knicks Poetry Slam

This week I share a poem I wrote to be read at my mother's homegoing service- March 3-2007. It is a reflection of her life. I hope you will share your poetry with me this week as well.

Some people can't let go.

Like the guitar!

*Re-Run*, the studio has been named*
I was just looking out my window today
When on to the sill came a Bluejay
I thought to myself is that profound?
I could swear that Bluejay wanted to stare me down
Then   more...I wondered if he even thought at all
In his mind un-cluttered, simple and small
It made me think about the universe
It made me tired, it made me thirst
Do you ever wonder what you're doing here?
Do you know the reasons for your fears?
Do you ever have bad dreams at night?
Do you ever feel like giving up the fight?
You gotta' let somebody love you it's what you need
Nothing's gonna grow if you don't plant your seed
Troubles they come and rivers they flow
Where the last star is nobody knows
But I know I'm me for whatever it's worth
and I know the good Me who came first  less

Even when gone, there is still a connection.
