Divided by space and time
Puzzled by those who’d have you
Rush before you’re ready
To fully shine

Questioning the complexities of life
Reasoning that passions often
Eradicate the calamites and strife

Stepping slowly into the unknown
Cautious, wizened toward closed doors
Finally understanding shadows around the bend
Are not always a sign of something more

Greener are his eyes, eyeing the pastures ahead
Unsure of which path to take
Years of ache and solitude
Create an impossible choice to make

To follow passions that rise and fall
Like the ocean’s tide against wind and sea
Building walls of seeming impenetrability

To skip across the picture of a perfect painting
Set so easily against the easel of your choice
Moved and changed a constant mutability

The heart recovers from a lonesome slumber
Awakening to gray skies and the din of thunder
Visions of two replace the bleak, empty scene

Delicate forms begin to shudder

Within the soft of skin and embrace of true love
When certain limbs move to become one
Authentic hearts could never love another.
