This, that comes, does not come easy
Tis not Life’s role to ever please me
To make it joyous without pain
Ensure I will not wish in vain
There was no vow, I’ve made no pact
No names signed on a set contract
I sail on seas as wide as sky
My journey’s path will be led by
The choices made, whole on my part
That balance ‘tween the head and heart
Though some days head will overtake
Leading to a heart that breaks
And yet should heart win over sense
A giddy joy be recompense
The hope is that none o’er the other
Will overwhelm to point of smother
No, what we want is good with grave
To be madcap as much as brave
To be so open with our love
At risk for grief when we’re stripped of
For even now on cusp of leave
I’m doubled over, I cannot breathe
This hurt that aches shall know no balm
Yet pay the price, without a qualm
To know devotion of such breadth
Eclipses even threat of death
Yearning at our very core…
Is not this need what we live for?
