Listening,
I do hear all the signal words
a ‘silly phase,’
a ‘just because,’
a ‘picture upon the wall’
covering a stain.
We live visuals in our lives,
getting tripped up,
finding a need to deny,
perhaps a settling response
to our own yearning desire
to have that moment,
the passion we feel,
felt,
knew,
know,
one time is all we need.
Last night I fell into tears,
a quiet recall,
my moment,
I could not let go,
and love …
yet waking in the morning,
listening to her natural song
outside my window.
I thought again of time,
reason, memory,
only then giving my life allowance
to never feed denial
energy to rule in favor of
forgetting you.
What is life without love?
