WORDS OWED TO OUR LONG HELLO

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

how so very much must you love me

as I peel back the layers of our experiences shared

though small still may their numbers be

my spirit soars unfettered

free of

the mere fear of fear anymore

in reservation's shadow

among perpetual work, family and toil

certainly you have to live

still, a caretaker to my heart

you have all too happily become

our differences create chasms 

that only finer lines of communication can repair

impediments of today

in the correct linear line will gradually slip away

as passages of understanding emerge

darkness too must then fall for the sun to rise again

but together ( though parted for now as we are)

we stumble around in the darkest dark

our footfalls determinedly tromping towards

a brighter promised morn

categorically altered

but so much better for having weathered

such an emotional storm

star crossed lovers

drifting back to each other

again

aware so fully of the risks

only from the breath of tomorrow

can any significant whispers come  back to us and say...............
