It’s no surprise
That you returned
Like a dog
Out for run
Muddied and tired
Or like snowdrops
Popping out of
Snowy cold ground
You reappeared now
We never ended
Yet like a
Wet fuse we
Fizzled out instead
Of the Ahhhhh
We said Awwww
Struck again with
Time perhaps now
We fly skyward
Popping to Weeee
The most precious
Commodity in life
Is your health
There is nothing
As beautiful as
A ripe apple
Or a horse
Galloping across the
Plain they are
The embodiment of
Life and health
Be you now
The magnificent creation
That you are
Just when you
Find someone that
You like all
The ones that
You liked before
Suddenly show interest
Is it because
You’re no longer
Available or are
We as humans
Only interested in
What we can’t
Have why are
We never satisfied
I shall never
Turn away from
You for we
Were then at
That same spot
At the same
Time and now
It’s our turn
And there then
A text came
I want to
See you because
You’re just you
Ugh how do
I say no
I shall go
Wondering what if
Any thing will
Happen like a
Master waving a
Stick I wait
For the toss
But what if
It doesn’t come
I’ll sit here
Happy knowing that
Maybe just maybe
It just might
On that green
Day came greetings
From far away
I’ll have all
Colors of wine
Which is now
Our own joke
You do see
When two people
Have their own
Silliness that’s repeated
It’s like a
Hatchling flapping wings
Before it’s first
Leap into sky
It’s the hallmark
Of something miraculous
About to happen
A newness of
Being one thing
About to become
Something very else
