The faraway thread Makes my bed As I stare into a future that I may never meet Give up the present moment as it comes to greet Me with its washing acceptance And the rejection Of her gaze when she berates Is what led me to equate Love with pain Like the sky with rain But spaciousness breaks the shell And though I wish them well I can’t say it’s what I would have chosen In my mind they are proposing Different vagaries of the same old thing And I asked him would he give me a ring When I thought his mire Would set me on fire Now my guides say to me You’ve got to let the bitterness go free And let him back into your life Even if you will not be his wife
