'incomplete'

I can continue to drift 
To and fro 
Pretend that all I am; 
All I ever was;
Was you 

But this is not it 
We all have some hidden purpose 
That is not even ours to know 

You just continue – 

Pretend that all you are; 
That all you were; 
Was me 

We can do this 
We can stop the questions we always have 
Take those little guidelines 
Grow from that 

Move forward – 

Not remain on the spot 
Listen to the beat of your heart
That is your compass 
Your motivator 
As long as it skips a beat 
Your purpose is not complete

Even if all I am 
Ends up not being you 
Even if all you are 
End up not being me 

Our hearts are still beating 
Our purpose still incomplete

Your poems always make me ponder, I love that about your writes, Missy-- this is no exception and hmmm I have to say, I still am not sure of what my purpose is? Whacked me, somehow all-purpose flour pops to mind and I envy it now, at least it knows how it is all-purpose?? As for me, hmm. So nice to hear from you, you "found" me despite my name change-- I've been feeling kinda eh (eh-motional? eh-mpty?) but just in some ways. I'd be honored if you Christened me with an Afrikaans name.....miss you too and I'm sorry if I have been in hiding, you know me.... *mwahugs*
