Distracted by the distance Walking on tattered roads Ocellated eyes found me
Cold thoughts Wandered Another mile gone
New words entered And were sewn
The reality of what might be too much to bear But the need never came near to haunt my thoughts again I let it be...
5 years later.
The forward of of a fresh chapter writes in feathers You’re still there
Like a book newly released speaking in printed form Substance hydrolyzed
Reflecting on its parts Sectioned into twos like a grapefruit and its humanness
The core is heaven Melting into uncharted territories I am willing to go
I met the uniqueness of a friend Turned lover Transformed into all that was solid fluid flowing like water chemically Magnetic
And I found this treasure
People do not always appear as they seem, but they can change depending on how we view them outside of ourselves. The circumstances, environment, and sensory data we decide to live and surround ourselves with respect to a person can change depending on how we reflect what we think about them and how we feel within.
Circumstances change. We can learn to see others as more meaningful or less depending on how we choose to see them from a certain perspective.
We can become happier when we transform a repeating passing thought or maybe something that began as a fleeting temptation into a steady conscious interest of desire to be pursued because we are generally interested in learning about this person outside of the superficial criteria they may meet in the external world and therefore, develop those feelings into something more.
Turning thought into action is a powerful blended combination of simply thinking about what you want vs. creating what you want; being proud of who you are and yourself for being clear and determined in your choices in love as well as in your commitment to it and the journey towards finding it can make all the difference in how you feel about it as a process and your dynamic with that special person too :)
Love, then, becomes less of a temptation and more of a pursuit to be cherished and deliberately chosen.
