That's Life

THAT’S LIFE The inevitable love Attraction! Karmic puzzle Ultra dimensional mix Whatever helpless speculation decides to name it She suddenly appears Nothing dazzling at first The chain has to form link by link - Each subtle, magnetizing situation Each inexorable bringing together Oh! The seeming bind is not only mine (I tell myself) Her links, too, seem strong How they shine The train rattles on for days - Rattling on for weeks, months! Until…finally, the pitch! – Words stuttering clumsily off the tongue – Body tight Appearance almost withdrawn Restless hands and feet Was it anger? Defensive? The way she looked off, Mind distant Fancying some alien location And now My small voice within, again Warning Trying fruitlessly to soothe Reiterating the (somehow) known impossibility all along

The ins and outs, the round abouts and sings and shouts, one never knows what's going to happen in these relationships that need discovery. Good we have that small voice to warn. Love, Lizzie

Oh the tumbles and bumps of love! You've penned it realistically - the moment comes when you have to know where you stand come what may. Nice! Very nice!
