3rd Act
People teach you
about people.
Loneliness and Solitude
See-Saw.
Generations
leave more than can be
taken.
Practice
gratitude & letting go
of things and people
you were grateful for
Once.
Everything happens...
Burning bridges,
opening doors-
There must be more
than one way
In or out.
One way to look at it
is just that.
People need people
like signposts
for orientation.
Yet never to be
in the same place
at the same time.
Missing and
Lost
can be both
alone and together.

reminding
Patience is virtuous
Following the divorce,
of course,
treading harder than ever
just to stay afloat-
On that same note
trying harder to keep
inspired
instead of always feeling
tired.
Grinding the mill stone
down to the metal
ore-
just
Stop and sink-
Or was it drop and think...
Into a poem
pocketing loose pieces
while waiting
for the light to change.
