A Doubtful Seed
Deep in peaceful rest, lay I.
Not a hint of what would come by.
In my dreams chasing ludicrous fantasies
Seeking out endless possibilities.
But away, far and away, have I gone from there.
Far and away due to a stirring in the air.
Rousing from somnolent state I noticed but one thing…
What, in my unconscious adventures, for I had been searching.
Reach out! Take hold!
But I could not bring myself to be so bold.
Now I am awake, now I am alive.
And finally my restless soul needn’t wander.
In those eyes, yes those eyes, I see all I need to thrive.
And “should I love her?” is a thought I needn’t ponder.
“Give it all away and hold nothing back” screams my heart.
But what happens when everything falls apart?
Logic shouts, “slow and steady and the race may be won.
Besides what are the chances this is the one?”
“Tattered and torn, tattered and torn.
You have been there before,
And you know your heart is worn.”
Logic speaks from my core.
Flumadiddle flumadiddle they all sing together.
They make it difficult to determine whether,
Whether or not the risk is worth the payout.
And to determine if I have any doubt.
But then one concept sticks out to me.
Why? Why is what I should be answering.
Why I love her, let me list the reasons…
But that list is too long, and would last eternal seasons…
So not why, but why not?
One solid answer is all I need.
I have thought and have thought
And can’t find a single, doubtful seed.
“She is too strong headed and opinionated”
And that is what makes her beautiful.
“She is too organized, she’ll kill your chaos”
My Balance is what makes her wonderful.
She is passionate and pure,
Faithful and true.
There is little more I could ever want from you.
To the end of all things,
I don’t think I could bring,
This soul to ever wander when all I want is found in you.
A balance for my strengths,
A mind to sharpen mine,
A reason to always strive,
An equal finally by my side.
