Clear as Day

My brain inquires what my heart feels

Are we ever certain that Love be true?

My bones ache

Remembering this body broken

My heart murmurs

Old wounds heal

And my brain wonders

Is this real

 

This soul believes in impossible ideals

If I place faith in my gut

Am I to blame for any deception

My brow sweats

Murky be such waters

Life being ever contrary to human love

Yet, something glitters from the river bed

My teeth grit

This might be real

 

It’s almost too good- too right!

And still my heart beats onward, marching

Through fogs of ephemeral thought

I may be fickle, but I might be sure

That this time I see light

Making these shadows swirl like ghosts

In my mind

My mind decides

This is real

 

So I wander forth

So I enjoy this vision

So beautiful  

My lips so wet

My love so strong

And you, so perfect

Real or imagined

Or imagined and real

 

These last words

My mouth speaks

"Be my human experience."

My faces smiles

At the act of choosing heart over head.

But my eyes tear

And a last warning is issued

"But know that these clouds may never clear."

 

…A new day breaks forth
