I know the fault lines
where this heart breaks easiest;
can chart easily
these movements between us
as if they are rivers,
tides automatic and effortless
and impossible to force
as it would be
to shape dreams into waking forms;
difficult, too, to stop
the spiral we enter
deeply written in our helices
we cannot fight such forces
better to simply spin with them
wherever they carry us

Thank you. Yes, acceptance and trust–we have to be who we are made to be.
True, sometimes. The trick is knowing which carries forward and which discards.
Yes–that’s the hard part–definitely!
