And while standing
In a crowd
You brushed against
Me by accident
Noticed but brief
Cautious and concerned
I checked for
My wallet but
Discovered that the
Only thing that
You stole was
Simply my heart
And while standing
In a crowd
You brushed against
Me by accident
Noticed but brief
Cautious and concerned
I checked for
My wallet but
Discovered that the
Only thing that
You stole was
Simply my heart
And then there
Right before the
Holiday I stood
On my street
Head turned upwards
On that cold
Dark day mouth
Opened awaiting that
First landing of
A snowflake on
My tongue that
Is what meeting
You was like
Just for me
After years on
Ocean I spot
A speck on
The horizon knowing
That it is
My new world
Cast to sea
With just myself
I sought my
Home and know
Now that what
I sought was
Simply beautifully me
No one will
Understand except those
Like me that
Decided to adventure
I have finally
Understood my own
Sadness on the
Pursuit of happiness
I have forgotten myself
So concerned about
Others I lost
Track of me
Like setting
A falcon free
Of tether and
Hood I myself
Flew free and
Disappeared like a
Winged dot on
The horizon yet
Knowing at some
Point I’d return
To me of which
I now have
Back to roost
I no longer
Want others I
Simply want me
This is not
Selfish it is
However now Grand
And like a
Child on his
First bicycle free
Of feet I
Fly wind in
Hair adventure in
Heart I ride
Down my street
And now turn
The corner and
Down the lane
Finally growing up
