half moon marble on blue
and i reach for you
as hawk cries echo
a splitting of night
from reflective light
an insight invaluable
as contrails shake their tails
and ask me why
why i find the leaving a necessity
this untangling journeying
to set things right
and so is the comforting
knowing the greater hand
simultaneously
holds me tight loosely
on this fence of happenstance
and serendipity
your blue eyes hold me too
driving the course
to urge familiarity
with the stubbled and smooth
the concealed and truth
of my love for you
