Choices

Roads diverge in
Yellow woods
All the time…the
Power
Is in the
Potential.

And Frost was right
When he implied that
Both
Would be equally pleasant.

Sometimes with roads
It’s not so much a
Matter of
Which
But rather
When.

Renaissance

Twice blessed
Thrice blessed
Empowered to inhabit the
Flip of my hair…the
Pale of my eyes…the
Curve of my skin.
Measuring life by the
Length of my arms and the
Strength of my thighs.
Emboldened by the
Swell of my lip…the
Trip of my tongue.
Immersed in the good,
Ready to run
To the new.

Gifts

I cannot give you riches.
I cannot give you gold.
But I can give you a heart that is true,
And a love that will never
Grow cold.

Gifts are fragile and tricky things.
Best when selfless and
Without any strings.

But what if a gift is rejected?
Reflected?
Lonely and left behind?

The giver then has a choice to make.
Continue to give despite
Heartache and loss,
When gifts that are precious
End up treated as dross.

I cannot give you riches.
I cannot give you gold.
But I will give you a heart that is true,
And a love that will never
Grow cold.

This Hardship is Nothing

Battered, bruised, bloodied, but
Unbroken.
Clinging to this lonely mountain not
Because I’ve given up, but
Rather to gather
Strength to start again.

I would walk the world for you.

I’ve walked until I could no longer stand, and
Now on my knees, I crawl.
Rough, rugged, craggy, lonely mountains will not keep me
From you.

My love is more than this mountain.
My heart’s hunger will not be denied.
I am battered, bruised, bloodied, but
Unbroken.
I will find you.

Love lasts longer than this world only.

Equilibrium

Veer to the left.
Swing wide to the right.
I don't have the
Whatever
to 
Fight this fight.
