I feel a rise
like the changing
of the tides.
My world
is transforming
to reveal a whole
new cunning.
New tales
to be told
of loves lost
and bravery showed.
An honesty
in what
is at stake.
A truth
behind all
we give and take.
I feel a rise
like the lifting
of the sun.
A new veil
of light
revealing all
we've left undone.
There are regrets.
There may be
questions anew.
There will be fights
about how or who.
In the end,
beyond the question
of why,
maybe
we'll decide
to give love
a try.
