I fall hard
but this is what I do.
I imagine long walks,
you pointing out the vision
I see as reality,
but this is what I do.
I picture myself as a flower,
each petal adored, even
in her simplicity,
but this is what I do.
The vast Midwestern skyline
of Nebraska takes me to
where you are daily, and I pray
but this is what I do.
I wander inside of a daydream
where we exist as one,
but this is what I do.
What a lovely poem, Audrey, and that last line is stunning and relatable. Sending hugs…🌼💗

One of my all-time favourites; and seemed quite appropriates here. John Hawkes is (IMHO unjustly little known. But then perhaps he is not everyone’s cup of tea,

You have your way, it’s who you are. Even when we’re deeply in love, it can be hard to change. Maybe you don’t want to because it’s part of the charm of who you are.
