The Good Love

I am wondering How this easy severance Of two parts that have grown together Came about Years of accomplishments Halted by one quick cut Like it is nothing And all could be regained in a moment We walk off with ease No conscience weighed Picking flowers off the side of the road Calling them trees Is it That the good love So comes with ease and lightness Envelopes us with great care And carries us forward unbeknownst to ourselves? Simply we embraced each other And our lives swept to new shores Filling our hearts Presuming it was always meant to be Is it That the good love Deceives us in that So we believe we can start over With the same effortlessness? We defy the labor of love The tender growth of life The miracle of the reciprocal spark That is necessary to create Is it That the good love Lets us walk away foolishly Into vast fields of destruction Holding on to our vanity That tomorrow will offer it all up again? What was easily gained Is lost easily But the song we dance to Changes its tune forever
