In One 10/12
Just thinking about these days
How life is so different
I don’t know what I imagined it would be
I suppose what you want and priorities might change
And they have
Days bleeding into nights and nights into days
Listening for a whisper
Dragging it in out of site
Imagining, rearranging
It does all make sense
I never expected it
And I suppose that’s good
Learning to know, where to go
Careful that the heart agrees
Choosing or being chosen.
Or letting it be
The intermingling of separate parts
Recognizable but new
The deeper understanding of you
Moving like a river now
With all it’s tiny pebbles, little fishes
Heavy stones, snakes and plants
Sometimes the sun shining though
Sometimes dark as night
Black and quiet
Frozen and cold
It always gives way though
To the growing and changing
Summertime’s of life
Unique and unintended miracle we are
More reasonably enriched
In and by the other
Some chance that each unfolds unto the other
A resounding dance
In and around a one
