Self-assurance seemed suited
in moments of clarity,
a world would correspond
inside a dream,
a fantasy,
a semblance of order in the balance
of our lives,
so important
to find a genuine appraisal,
rather
than easily trapping our lives in
indifference.
Always is a positive outcome
the natural course
of hope, of faith, of belief
in the goodness of our heart
when trodden upon
by the reality existent
in the travail of love,
such confusion,
such is our hesitation,
to know,
to simply allow
our own selves
to be loved.
When we did,
life did sparkle,
the beauty of an open sky,
left smiles within
each other’s eye,
once.
