UNDEFINED, EXCEPT BY EXPERIENCE
There is a time when you see it –
That next life
When it all works out –
That vision of the plateau
Stretching out beyond sight –
Becomes hazy and faint
As though the vision
Gets foggier the closer it gets.
What had its primary role
Now shifts to the rear.
The face that always smiled
Has drifted away
The hands once held
Cannot be found.
Only photos reveal her beauty
And they have only two dimensions
Leaving the depth of her soul
To my imagination.
The breathing goes on –
Full and vigorous on the surface
But a sense of emptiness lingers
As the trail winds on
Each turn with a bit of peril
Each crest reveals a deeper view
Into the past
The reasons become clearer –
Why we did what we did –
What propelled us
What held us together
Through fearsome winds
Was certainly love –
Undefined except by experience
