PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Time passes. The weeds get slowly weeded.

One turns around to find new beginnings.

Long gone are many things once thought needed

And the unresolved bat extra innings –

                       The false get ferreted out from the true.

When I think of you, only gratitude,

The highest of wishes and warmest thoughts,

Yet time has brought a change of attitude –

I’m rechristening spots, untangling knots,

                        Allowing for life not including you.

You couldn’t possibly be more cared-for,

But you’ve coaxed out my insecurity –

Absence is what I must be prepared for,

In step with this newfound maturity –

                        1 + 1 need not always = 2.

What a relief to know I’ll be all right

Even when you’re fully out of my sight.
