how so very much must you love me
as I peel back the layers of our experiences shared
though small still may their numbers be
my spirit soars unfettered
free of
the mere fear of fear anymore
in reservation's shadow
among perpetual work, family and toil
certainly you have to live
still, a caretaker to my heart
you have all too happily become
our differences create chasms
that only finer lines of communication can repair
impediments of today
in the correct linear line will gradually slip away
as passages of understanding emerge
darkness too must then fall for the sun to rise again
but together ( though parted for now as we are)
we stumble around in the darkest dark
our footfalls determinedly tromping towards
a brighter promised morn
categorically altered
but so much better for having weathered
such an emotional storm
star crossed lovers
drifting back to each other
again
aware so fully of the risks
only from the breath of tomorrow
can any significant whispers come back to us and say...............
