The Good Love
I am wondering
How this easy severance
Of two parts that have grown together
Came about
Years of accomplishments
Halted by one quick cut
Like it is nothing
And all could be regained in a moment
We walk off with ease
No conscience weighed
Picking flowers off the side of the road
Calling them trees
Is it
That the good love
So comes with ease and lightness
Envelopes us with great care
And carries us forward unbeknownst to ourselves?
Simply we embraced each other
And our lives swept to new shores
Filling our hearts
Presuming it was always meant to be
Is it
That the good love
Deceives us in that
So we believe we can start over
With the same effortlessness?
We defy the labor of love
The tender growth of life
The miracle of the reciprocal spark
That is necessary to create
Is it
That the good love
Lets us walk away foolishly
Into vast fields of destruction
Holding on to our vanity
That tomorrow will offer it all up again?
What was easily gained
Is lost easily
But the song we dance to
Changes its tune forever
