I must love you
My attraction creeps like
English Ivy eventually covering
All that you are
Oh sure my eye
Catches your glint of
Light as it bounces
From your smile like
Sunlight from the small
Wind blown lake ripples
But in order to
Know the parts of
You I need to know
That one thing that
Engine which keeps the
Other parts moving smoothly
And sadly these days
No one has time
To offer me that
When is enough enough
I find my enough
When I am alone
Our world no matter
How much wants more
There is something to
Be said in enough
Peace calm and kindness
To mention a few
Find your enoughness friends
Watching you watching me
I wonder if people
Can see between us
If people can see
The butterflies and bumblebees
Passing between our eyes
For when I watch
You watching me I
See nothing but the
Summer day we met
I wonder what made
God after being finished
Sit back and say
Perfect what did he
That we simply can’t
I do know that
Looking at things from
High makes things beautiful
Astronauts birds and angels
Always agree with God
Remain above appreciate below
That’s our souls home
How many of us
Upon reflection and review
Of mirror pantry account
Shelf home and garage
Of love sex and affection
Friends expression and popularity
See scarcity and nots
Not enough not exactly
And not anywhere near
Not right not near(ly)
And certainly not long
That silly little word
Always makes almost everything
Into a woeful nothing
What if by not notting
By unnoting the ball
That you call life
You have plenty more
Much more in fact
Than you’ll ever need
Let the have nots
Keep their nots tightly
Notted misery loves company
