(Dedicated to Rita)
There is this remission
Of the obstacles positions
My foolishness is reaching
Your nurturing of my souls yielding
And the flourishing of illusion
I hear the rain dripping
Or are they my tears falling
To the ground and the missing
You make it all depart
I never want to be apart
Your love settles in my heart
These mysterious places, this start
I don't need help with what's not known
These unfamiliar feelings, formerly alone
And the unfathomable is complex
Any understanding is evasive
Yet, as it goes, its creative
Realization, if possible, unneeded
Do you see the night fall
A transparent blue, I recall
Even as my eyes dim
You show me things at its brim
Of this world, in its fire
Things I've never seen before
I can't wait to see you at my door
This love is essential
And merely a semblance
As we enter it with poetry and music
It may seem, at times, foolish
Yet, it softens us
In the colors of our imagination
This love stirs in our lives
A power to change
Our souls revived
Our hearts raised
