It’s not the proximity
of someone that makes
a relationship a relationship
for there are many
people who live with
others yet feel lonely
It’s not physical presence
that promotes a kinship
it’s time and attention
The place where this
equation occurs is less
important than its summation
for any equation which
subtracts is always less
than what was added
Never worry about distance
for the heart only
measures time and attention

GloriouslyAlone
I am finally learning
to live with less
but in this case
less does mean more
I cannot tell you
how much less leads
to so much more
But refocusing your lens
from others to yourself
you begin to see
so many new things
so many different possibilities
for happiness your happiness
Being alone happy alone
is not the end
that so many think
Being alone happy alone
is a newly discovered
hallway chock full of
doors to where you
will never ever know
until you open one
Home
I have rediscovered happiness
having long ago been
taught but recently forgotten
A home that reflects
you a refrigerator filled
with fresh food and
love in your heart
This home my home
is welcome to all
Come in kick off
your shoes get comfortable
and only ever bring
your love with you
I’ll provide the rest

Imagine that after everything
you get to live
again What would you
do Who would you
be but not what
would you do differently
The mistakes that we
made once were meant
to teach us something
But if you never
learned then you forfeited
your chance to live
again You do not
get to pass Go
or collect your $200
Re
I’m in the land
of Re reinvention redesign
and rediscovery the land
of Re is found
only on the other
side of once had
And you can only
ever find the door
in the dark the
land of Re belongs
to those who tried
and failed to those
who chose to leave
behind the land of
Re only ever belongs
to the courageously triumphant
