The eyes have it.
Yours didn’t.
Do I stay
or do I go?
I didn’t know.
Now we both exist,
we live our lives–good lives!–
but we cross paths
with passing glances.
I don’t need to know
but I sure want to.
Do we course correct,
do we connect, do we
throw all caution without care,
do we carry on
as two unpaired?

Some things are beyond
our understanding,
be it the questions of
What? Where? Why?
or
Who? When? How?

when it feels like the world
has pushed you away,
to not hide in fear
from the unknown
but to embrace it
like a new friend.
Even
these things
are beyond complete understanding
even if we didn’t
question it
and went along with it instead.

to fully appreciate
the splendor as I gaze
at the brushstrokes on the land
and the painted heavens–
a feeling unparalleled,
unmatched in its pleasance.
It’s not that I’ll pay no mind
when our paths intersect
for I’ll still see the splendor
all around, indirect,
and you will still be beauty
and pleasance as you are,
and often I will ponder
of that brilliant star
There’s a light burning low
in the window above,
orange glow casting long dark shadows
on what parts of the wall
can be seen Continue reading “In the window above”
I stared longingly in wanderlust
at those hills over there Continue reading “Top of the Hill”
