Conclusions

There are levels of love
pain flowing through each one
when you consider the depth
the intensity is overwhelming

I cry when I think of the ones
who left their scalding indentations
I smile with immense satisfaction
realizing I survived them all

I have grown with every storm
as tears watered and rejuvenated
rooted in newfound knowledge
reaching for an endless sky

And all the levels of love
make perfect sense to me now
I’ll be holding onto the ones
who understand these words

Conclusions

woman

There’s truth to be found
In the most unlikely places
Small hidden kernels
In the most improbable spaces

And to find these concealed realities
Often makes our heads spin
An aha kind of moment
Lets loose from deep within

And it’s sort of freeing
When at last we conceive
All the things we were blind to
The things we wanted to believe

Makes it easier to move on
And let go of the past
To discover new avenues
That may conceivably last

It all starts with intuition
And listening to your gut
For that’s the only way
To determine what is what
