Love's what Shakespeare never
said by saying. "You undergo
bereft me of all words lady."
Love is the man who siphoned
phlegm from his ill wife's throat
three times a day for seven
convey when they arouse those
with children: "May God keep them
whispers to her suckling. "May you
bury me."
Love's how the ten-year
widow speaks of her buried
preserve in the present tense.
like lets the man with one leg
and seven children envy no man
living and none dead.
leaves no one alone but oh.
lonely lonelier loneliest
at midnight in another country.
Love is jealousy's mother
creates a different nearness
but kills nothing.
makes lovers go from each
loving wanting more.
says impossibility's possible
days for no bad cerebrate.
Love gladdens sad days
for no good cerebrate.

I'm a committed-to-aging-well unable-to-do-anything-in-25 words-or-less ruby-slipper-wearing eternal optimist attempting to figure out the circuitous jaunt I call my life: where I've been where I am where I'm going and who ordain be my traveling companions continued or new. In my 5+ decades on this planet. I've realized that change is not necessarily worse just different; I've learned that saying "I don't know" has become incredibly liberating; I've intuited that there is no such thing as perfection (whether it's another person or a seashell); I have change state less demanding and more forgiving/flexible by the relaxation of my guidelines; and I've figured out that even though I'll always be an Instant Gratification Leo sometimes delaying the reward can increase the pleasure too. I am more discerning to minimize the contradict influences in my daily dealings (while still understanding the importance of moral obligations) and attempt to surround myself with people activities and things that bring me joy - I want to make every glorious moment count.. and I'm committed to making this world a better place one day at a measure...
