Love Poem: Blinded By the Light

Blinded By the Light

temporarily blinded by the light
like an on-coming car with high beams
when it's passed, vision comes back
once again I regain my bearings

long ago, what I depicted
was in my head and heart
I read meaning and kept believing
there was more than what met the eye

the circumference closes, we move on
the circle is now dissected
what you do depends only on you
and has right from the very start

maybe some day you'll think of me
of a memory that slipped through your grasp
vague comprehending of long lost dreams
while you settle up with what lasts
