Grieving the dream,

Slowly letting go of all that desire entails

left dazed by the choices and circumstances

that led to this moment.

Craving connection, to be seen

and loved

for all I am

at the deepest levels,

not only by my own eyes,

but by another with whom I can once again share

the delicacies of life’s more sacred commitments.

But only when clarity and integrity return to my heart

And sweep away the fear of losing this all over again…
