PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

stirrings fluttered
as each word you typed
in my mind softly uttered
no shadowed mystery anymore
just the honesty you implored
we've arrived at a better place
though I'm not certain how
you know me in layers
worst to best
including
all the damage that lays
beneath all of that
solemnly distressed
plunging perhaps we are
into skies so blue
or rainstorms bitter
it is not for us but God to say
I remember that old familiar coat
of love for you that I use to wear
and in these last 10 days or so
I have slipped my arm into its sleeve
a time or two I must confess
just curious of the fit
aware of where we are trying to go
wisdom is our quiet friend
nothing says I love you quite so well
like knowing someone's warts and weaknesses
along side their willingness for you ,to bend
you have walked with me tattered and bruised
you have exposed yourself to my ignorance
with grace and accommodation
just as I silently stepped back to give you
the space I believed you needed
I can't begin to know the hoops you have
danced through
nor the storms of life that you shouldered
through
but I am here now
better informed
and not so needy
willing to do the work that is required
doing my part to get us to that place
where we can be mutually inspired
as country singer Johnny Lee use to sing
'You Can Bet Your Heart On Me'.............
