There, then not

The love we cannot see
That sings and dances
Right under our noses

We feel it deep in our bones

But, we say that we do not

Yet
Inwardly we all know

It is this

This love

That sets us all free

The last 12 months have been the hardest of my life. The lightening quick ending of a 26 year marriage, partnership and friendship. The loss of my best friend of 30 years and the loss of other close friends. I am a poet and writer. Writing helps me move through both the joys and the fears and the pain with swifter and more useful degrees of grace and wisdom. Right now life is challenging, so the poetry reflects that. FYI Be in joy, in all ways! ~william
