A Small Discovery

A Small Discovery

Undoubtedly,
Undeniably
Indisputably

It is no surprise

That the winds changed
During intimate travels &    
Years of looking
Through the same window

Refreshed
Amid raw energy &
A new gaze
Sending me into the wild
Inspired
For the last good-bye 

Now
It’s a different season
That led me inside the garden door
Where I belong
Among the tracery of stalks & leaves
It is my habitat & 
It suits me well

You
Who I once knew
With trusting eyes
Now
Thankfully
A thin presence
In the background

It is the truth
A willowing down
Measuring what’s left
Nature is that precise &
There is a joy
Of sorts
A small discovery &
We both know it
