Understood

It began with the wind
and a blaze of fire
Fairy circles
Dream rocks
a need to savor and retreat
we hid ourselves
in a manner which
fooled those around
and he left without a word...
ran with the ocean breeze
leaving me to doubt
the nothingness that we had.
So he stayed away
and she sauntered on
but he came back...
he missed her warmth...
her arms open wide
smiling upon the sun
she welcomed him back
with an uneasiness
and a smile...
watching and waiting
for him to break her heart again
inevitable
impermanent
I live in the now, he says.
She says nothing...
sees through the selfishness
and callow behavior...
products of his fear
fully manifested
and unwarranted.
She was his trigger
He, the gun...
together they conjoined
into
her understanding everything...
taking her turn to silently walk away..
leaving him with nothing.
Understood, indeed.
