Love Poem: Renewed, Redirected

Renewed, Redirected

My mind is somewhere else today
Most notably on the events of Saturday
Images of the day flash thru my mind
Reminding me, retelling me of our time
A fresh season of my life has begun 
Holding hands, chasing tongues,

A past of broken promises, trust destroyed
My heart, my soul, my mind employs
New ways to cope, new ways to thrive
New ways to view life, these new images provide
Loneliness, loss, and anxiety fade away
When in my arms your body stays

When thoughts of death are not shy
To live is difficult, to enjoy living is hard
But to give an old life a new chance
A reconsidered path, a different stance
The events of Saturday
Influence and redirect my ways
