Every day becomes
second chance at happiness
I choose you always
become what you make
the reality of your
American dream
Accepting the truth
honesty defeats the doubt
steadfast connection

I knew at once
you were the one
the nervous smile
fronting a quiet kindness
A coffee spot lingered
opposite your heart
endearing you to me
as you listened, waiting
hoping you see too
a sign for more
an opening to turn
the handshake to a kiss
The words flow
laying a path
set to smiles
leading to love

Today I wear black
not to show darkness
but to mute the doubt
that I’ll see your back
For I stand solid strong
sure in your protective arms
even at a distance,
singing our song
Notes of hope advance
a comforting melody plays
inviting the next stride
of our love’s dance
a single step back
does not disconnect
but rocks you forward
leaning onto me dressed in black

a quiet surrounds
for once peace resounds
mind has calmed
a break from the noise
outside green abounds
I gaze out the window
at the growth I’ve found
reflected back in me
I let go, all unwound
once my fist loosens
I hit solid ground
rooted once again
I have no bounds
as I step up

So good raising me
all bad was beyond
you had no effect
on the young mold
Now I wonder
where the base is
did it exist
or was it sold
the leaking cracks
must be my fault
for not speaking
left alone in the cold
Today this distance
lacks a bridge
no apologies owed
is what I’m told
Nothing new here
I see light
where you see sand
standing with you, I fold
So I take a step
no matter how small
I grow hope in truth
my real base takes hold

Hope centered
on happiness fails
a faulty feeling
delivery fleeting
Bitterness roots
forgiveness heals
not a cure or easy
but better forgotten
Good intentions make
a centered goal
but guarantees
no desired result
For a heart knows not
complexities of itself
let alone another’s
so judge not unseen
A heart knot knows naught.

Waiting, always
when shame goes
after all it sows
never knowing
Growing, rooted
some fruitful
others hurtful
rooted all the same
Sharing, hopeful
too afraid
offers made
yet none taken
Intending, helpful
not result
instead tumult
burying healing

It’s easy you see
to spot my needs
name that change
toss those seeds
It’s hard to plant
in infertile ground
growth needs more
in order to abound
Faith gives more
than surface deep,
knows heart’s deceit
yet a hope can keep
So consider needs
for a fruitful life
stay slow to speak
to avoid more strife
We all know Job
and his friends
who spoke no truth
through limited lens
Hurt is complex
builds strong roots
consider the depth
shaking in my boots
You speak no harm
when you listen
let the trust come
as tears glisten
Then you can see
how to adjust
what fruit comes
after the dust

I gave you all
let it slip straight through
my heart overflowing smiles
directed straight at you
So you felt full
a new confidence showed
as we confided stories
and our hopes glowed
but you pierced a hole
not in you but in me
nothing left to share
the truth I finally see
