And there
You were
Looking skyward
Forgetting the
Ground mesmerized
By the
Clouds and
When you
Left you
Forgot something
Of yours
I tried
To find
You to
Return it
But knew
Then that
I would
Never because
You were
A man
Of only
The sky
And can
Only be
Found there
There’s a
Type of
Love which
Most people
Assign great
Value they
Consider it
The love
The best
Love or
Grandest love
The one
Love and
The forever
Love the
Marriage love
And the
Affectionate love
The love
Of rings
And promises
And oh
The love
That the
Creator anoints
But really
That love
Like so
Many others
Is just
A love
A present
Love no
It’s not
Puppy love
Or giggly
Love or
Summer love
Or even
The friendship
Love try
Not to
Pander to
Hierarchies of
Love just
Love simply
And beautifully
Love isn’t
Ever easy
Especially the
Great loves
Great loves
Require great
Things with
Great people
That must
Be willing
To enjoy
Great times
As well
As great
Loss great
Loves are
Great simply
Because of
Their inherent
Ability to
Change the
Course of
Your life
If you’re
Not willing
Settle for
Something less
Great loves
Demand greatness
From both
Whether it
Be Heaven
Or Hell
We think
By virtue
Of our
Own thoughts
That we
Know best
We keep
Ourselves away
From things
We want
Because we
Think better
But what
If we
Didn’t really
Know if
Maybe life
Exists wholly
In surrender
As a
Child I
Wasn’t allowed
To play
With others
Simply because
I couldn’t
Refusing to
Share what
I’d had
And now
Even older
I am
Learning to
Remove my
Protective arms
From around
My treasures
Thus allowing
Others to
Play with
Them too
