forsaken luck
of nevermore –
would will the seeker stall –
when worried for
the answers come
surrendered us to fall

forgotten now the barter
would bring such sweet release
beholding to each other
heart to heart –
as pleas to please

so many rules
so many trials –
with one more truth to tell
was not for me forever spoke –
with worries of the veil

of lessons in the leaving
let us go –
or let us lead
as oceans
soon returning
as sands beneath my feet

of will
my tender heart to swell
with loving wrecklessness –
secure as dreams
the wander true –
would never dream for less
. . .
