FLUID THOUGHT


There was a time

Long ago when stability was not state of mind

Far from reality now

Lost memories on the edge of synopses


A vertical thrust forward without intent

Frustrated love by distance and uncontrolled fluid thought

Too hold onto love

Remembering through each day its meaning


More than desire

Greater than knowledge

As with a moment, a touch tender and soft

Words spoken, then laughter shared


A loss misbegotten

Failing to comprehend life and love

Throwing to the wind a gift

Whether by fear or incompetence


Thoughts, always thoughts

Twisting through light and darkness

A dance accompanied by another

Not to be alone with music playing in the past


There is an effort to move forward

With help and caring from a friend

Their understanding reaching out and filling a heart

This belief has substance, concrete and stoic
