LannaEvolved Dec 2020
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.
