The answer to my soul's yearning
the more of him that I am learning
or do I mean knowing....
Leaving some questions in its wake
I want to say
Don't you see that I am a train wreck
and when you pick those pieces up so gently and perfectly
I want to make new tracks
I want to give something back
It is not knowledge that I lack
It is a longing deeper and faster
than something I can master
I can't categorize
it moves me from the inside
Behind it all
carefully constructed
I used to hide
I had to shed
the parts of me long dead
And he is so important somehow
I see that so clearly
definition feels unreal
and like I couldn't honour
the way I feel
with actions
just reactions
and fractions
of the whole
that feels lighter
I feel brighter
illuminated
so these words I write
don't touch how right.
I remain
but changed
touched more than I knew
anyone could do
An echo reaching back to me
treats this serendipity
with purpose
and the illusions
I wrote only last week
seem weak.
I am amazed.
I am humbled.
I found a hand to hold and flex
as we try to work out the context.
