ONE STEP AT A TIME…

It is wild that comes from the heart

Deeper and untamed that is expressed

by the soul.

Is it too late or too soon

to curb the volcano?

 

It is strange the extent the mind can

possess.

Never letting go to that flicker of hope

what foolishness, yet what wisdom?

does it mean that lives that meet

must learn to part?

 

As I bid thee farewell with my

mind, the heart goes timid

to confess the same.

To profess the joy it would all

have been; the rat and the cheese,

the cat and cream.

 

Look beyond the words and see

the need that lurks within.

There are many yet so few

that see the depth of friendship.

Now that is gone, I live with

the emptiness of self and search.
