There are times of
too many —
too much —
too few —
never enough …
and the subject matter dances between the lines, depending —
voices
emotions
work
drink
sustenance
fear
sorrow
joy
surprise …
and sometimes what falls into “too much” on one day
falls into “never enough” on another,
and I struggle with this dance of
emotion
pain
joy
change
in equal amounts of
too much and
too little —
believing
that to live fully
is to know
it all intensely —
both hurt, and
solace.
But it is
never, ever
weightless.

Oh, my dear friend…this… This is wonderful. It brought tears to my eyes and I read it out loud to Steve. I felt it in my heart and my soul. Thank you!

A beautiful poem and, at a time of great personal loss for me, a consolation.
Thank you so much John, and blessings to you at this time of loss.
