Clarity

I asked him
If he knew Farsi
Before he knew her.
He replied:
When you want to
Learn something,
There is a
Powerful force
Called love.
And sudddenly,
It all became clear.

Follow

You go nowhere
By standing still
So I take a step
Knowing that
It's the right path
As long as
I follow
My heart

Morning musing

I thought of you
This morning.
I thought of what
I love about you.
How, around you,
I am like a child.
Not because
You treat me like one.
But because
You allow me to be
Playful, carefree, happy
Just like a child.

Dust

She stood still
Alone
Because
Everything she touches
Turns to dust

Clinging

What is clinging
But a bad habit?
Holding on to
A dream
A memory
A time and place
Gone too soon
Forgotten too late

One day

Would you notice my absence one day
And see that you were wrong
In believing that life goes on
Without me?
Or is that what many call
Wishful thinking?

Void

I have learned
The best remedy for a void
Is not distraction.
Nor denial.
Let it be
Let it live
And breathe.
So that one day,
You may learn
To coexist with it.
