Did I ever need reason?
Realization dawned.
Just yesterday.
When, all of a sudden
The masks fell, and
Dammed emotion
Broke its bounds.
In our million moments
Togetherness - taken for granted?
Acceptance - given, denied
Rationalized, ignored.
Do I know you?
Am I still that mystery
You claimed I was?
The hurricane of trauma
When it struck
Put us on that hurdy-gurdy
Of an endless roller-coaster ride.
Pain. How many kinds are there?
All I know is this:
Each day I find one more.
And yet.
A Blessing.
A Benediction.
Invisible, tightly bound
Strongly held,
We were pulled together-
Into the eye of the storm.
Limp, spent, exhausted
We just hold each other close.
No more words-
Only tears - each drop, gracious
Each, only ours - not yours, not mine.
It is the season of knowing
Of Thanksgiving
Of Completeness-
Finding one more piece of
Each other-
That fit, just so right.
That's reason enough.
For now.
