Conventions of Light
The others in our lives reveal themselves
Intentions, desires and all they behold
In honesty they will say, and do, and be
And they will choose who accompanies them
We may yearn for another, in particular or not
Wishes may not be granted so forthright
But we must experience the genuine
And we must accept it as new
When one spot of sun doesn't linger for long
One cannot mourn it in the shade
To move on in triumph is to grow in your spirit
To fall in love once more is to live
Connections will fray and fall into chaos
The chaos is proof of the feelings being shared
Recovery is needed but it requires all your strength
And it will validate your humanity
The light from one love will fade into shadow
After you must allow yourself to bleed
Dress your wounds and rest for a spell
And journey forth to something better
Humanity is resilient, longing to succeed
Success is subjective and depends on our needs
The glitter or clatter may decide your means
But it does not take away the ache
Love in good health is something of a remedy
For ailments far and wide
It may not be enough to sustain us
But it's certainly worth a try.
