the whispers begin to gather
come love me they sing
my muse
a certain merry widow
a bell from which all intent
eventually chooses to ring
the happiness and the hope
the challenge of the never
failing dream
are attestament shards to
who I am
what I've become and built
in and of itself
the construction of a life
not quite fully redeemed
Enduring Enjoyment
a work in progress
and then came you
the topper of them all
my quintessential reflection
