IN PARTED PURSUIT*

Folder: 
JOURNAL #35

juxtaposed as we are just now

to our ingrained work ethic

set upon auto pilot

we step forth today

separated in our parted pursuits

note your Eminence that I am fine with this

only the slightest bit melancholy

finding the world to be a bit of a

different place

and I am near enamored

by such shift in events

you have grown so tall into my life

since my early days of welcoming you to it

never imagined a month could do so much

for the general shaping of my thoughts

what an impression you have made upon me

I am a woman stepping into her newly realized

value

and it is your lifting, guidance, foster hood of faith

and loving kind support

that I have to thank for this

people meander into and throughout a person's life

adding to even as they take away from

the life they encounter

but you sir have only kept adding

and what a marvelous fine builder of confidence

you have become

the structures before me you have erected

are of the keenest quality

my only minute fear now can be

that arrogance on my behalf will

take root and over power all the good you

have brought forth

( laughing now)

no, not really I am incapable

of true arrogance

for in such form

my soul will not abide

in my general missing of you today

this poem came to set with me awhile

hm

who can say

perhaps

at some selfless level

patch pieces of you

were in it

well

it is a lovely little thing to believe

anyway

in my boundless joy of

just getting to know you

as I have

I wish you  dearest sir

a happy, happy day

write soon.......................
