It was the chance taken
A moment in time where
a decision was made
A hope and wish
To fulfill a need
Reaching out for a
connection made...
Planted a seed to see
what would grow
With care and nurture
It sprouted...
The labor of effort was
fruitful
And frustrating...
Because it's the
unknown
Like aiming in the dark
at a target unseen
Hope was held onto
Will the mark be made?
Is luck on your side?
Seeming to break all
the rules of expectation
We found ourselves
then...
Now, what was is
lost...
It was the best, until
it could not be kept
From happiness to the
bitterness of leaving
Hurt shows through the
smile worn
Why does it always have
to be to little, to late?
Sad now are the
emotions that lay silent
Fallen short and
withered upon the vine
For time seemed to be
against us from the beginning
And now there is no
happy ending...
Lost amongst the weeds
of abandonment
Over grown thoughts of
what love should and should not be
When your garden is
tended by the hands of others
Even the most beautiful
flowers can be sacrificed
For the view of the
beholder changes
Time tells us this
season has ended
Our feet lead us to the
horizon of tomorrow
To another moment...
And a chance for anew.
