Some are temporary.
Some Lifelong.
Some were completely unexpected.
Some unexplainable.
Some stay the same at a distance.
Some grow.
Some end for reasons we will never fully know.
Some completely undeserving of us.

There is no paradox here at all.
When the words don't come as easily as they should.
What is a poet to do?
You listen for the muses and their cues no matter where they come from.
No chorus, harmony, or melody without a feeling.
Hoping they will find you and return.
Open your eyes.
Open your heart.
Listen carefully and they will sing their song again.

The last four years have been beyond comprehension but no matter what I have heard and experienced the words stay positive.
Many things have changed but having heart and calm saves the day.
Some things stay the same and for others, you adapt to the times and issues as best you can.
There is so much to see and do.
If you have given up, please don't think of taking me with you.
I will remain protectively positive.

The look of you
The eyes on you
The smile that travels everywhere and nowhere in particular
The laughter and the laugh
Take me under over and every direction as long as I am with you
September 14 forty four years ago we met going stronger if possible
Whenever I am near you it is yesterday once more

It was a beautiful day with lots of puppies and dogs frolicking around as their human watched them with water and treats if needed and wanted.
That night I dreamt of one dog asking his human Can I take you to the human park and put a leash on you?

Tuning in
Tuning out
Respectful and not distasteful
Accepting what is and putting what was on the back burner
It had its purpose and begs to be reexamined when necessary
Respect is paramount
Easier said than done but difficult to accept that many people think they are higher and mightier than others
Believe what you want
People fall in love with people
Color and ****** orientation don't play a role right away
You can love a friend
The love of a lifetime ideally comes along once
That relationship is golden and hopefully forever
Listening hard does nothing
You might be forming a response not needed now
Listening gently gets you where you want to be

He said I slept through the thunderstorms last night.
If I don't carry an umbrella, I get soaked.
If the slicker is there, been soaked with both that and the umbrella.
Walking under trees is a major no-way.
As the sky grays again and it's quiet the walk happens
It is quiet and most people are driving their cars or working.
Monday and Friday are two of the four days off for me.
Many have asked when I write and the answer many times is in between the raindrops or on a sunny day.
You know I will be seeking a rainbow
