LET THE CURRENT DECIDE[1][2]

 

The water is deep and wide as my fear,

So I take your hand to cross,

Lest the unforgiving current

Of our history, pull us under.

 

Our lives,

Sapped of strength

Are no longer resilient,

No longer buoyant.

 

Love, once sharp and intense,

Is a tarnished blade

That releases your hand from mine.

 

I feel the current pull

Swiftly deciding

Who goes ahead,

And who is left behind?

MY PERSON - A song poem video.

MY PERSON

TAI JI

 

“The Chinese principle of Yin-yang represents a dynamic balance of opposing but complementary and interconnected forces.”

 A friend told me his wife was His Person, and he was all in.

My Person is a true life-partner,

Soulmate, lover, friend.

My first loves were special,

But they brought chaos into my life.

I looked for new greener pastures; ignoring the truth.

 

My Person was there all the time, uniquely right for me.

Providing love and companionship,

And her tolerance.

 

Like a tailored suit, we are a good fit, yet with space to grow.

She compliments, and complements, while,

Accepting my faults.

 

Finding and recognizing Your Person can be difficult.

Youth and age may blind us to the truth,

Relations take time.

 

My Person brought balance and harmony into my being.

Together, we are more than our sum,

Her yin to my yang.
