I wish I knew
why what and whom
we fall in love
it’s life’s great mystery
maybe the eyes feel
what the heart asks
it can’t be serendipity
for even with I
and then with you
it feels like ocean
to cloud to ocean
to mountain to river
to ocean to cloud
and on and on
and on we go
you being one thing
and I being another
and then being both

BeanLilBean
I not only
watched you grow
up but your
baby brother too
it’s weird this
me slowing down
like an oak
way out there
and you too
taking root somewhere
else I can
see your blossoms
from over here
but I can’t
smell your fragrance
so imagine it
then I will
and yes it’s
just that sweet
Bottom
I keep thinking
I’ve hit bottom
but it moves
deeper deeply deepening
and now I’m
wholly certain that
there is no
bottom just more
and more of
this really bad
and like a
boy who can’t
swim there’s nothing
to push off
from and I
must simply swim
or just sink
Heal
Trust is something
I have little
of it once
been a log
at its start
but now it’s
been whittled down
to the tiniest
of slivers stuck
into my thumb
festering it too
the last of
that once mighty
tree will be
removed and I
left with nothing
but a wound
left to heal
Overdressed
I am shedding friends
both new and old
like a hiker who
overdressed having at first
protected himself but now
as his journey continues
realizes less is better
having more of anything
never lightens any journey
to the mountain top
I go as naked
as I can be
