We stumble through life

Relationships and mistakes

Damaging imperfect people and plans

Enduring heartbreak storms

And emotional pitfalls crashes

Things we said and didn’t say- linger

Some we mean, others we don’t

Like phantoms, fairies and ghost

Some you see, some you can’t

But you feel their ever presence

Between fear ridden hope

And elusive unfinished dreams

Wrinkling untried possibilities

Lost time and unwanted things

That ever so close, kind of incompleteness

Which can hold us at bay, at our fringes

In ourselves, life and wholeness

That only an authentic acceptance completes

When we’re bestowed…unconditional love
