Youth conjures thinking
Thinking conjures mind
Mind conjures action
And action conjures
Either change or
Something else waiting
For that change
Change is coming

Do you not
Understand how hard
It is to
Choose nothing rather
Than something knowing
That the two
Of you won’t
Ever be what
You want and
Giving way to
What might be
Rather than clutching
To what isn’t
Let go die
Or start anew
Love does love
Love also hurts
If upon ceasing
The absent love
Does not hurt
It wasn’t love
A mirage perhaps
Not an oasis
Maybe a cloudburst
Not a cyclone
Love leaves things
Different than before
If you haven’t
Changed then you
Simply haven’t loved
Lost I drift
Bumping into others
I have discovered
Comfort in myself
Absent of them
Alone and quiet
At long last
I can hear
The ocean again
In the shell
Against my ear
Knowing that life
Is in there
Just with me
It was three
Things that invited
Me to you
Your eyes your
Smile and your
Honesty yes by
What you said
But more by
The honesty of
Your smile and
Of your eyes
They speak louder
Than the words
