Life is a garden
of forking paths,
some hedge maze, some
fountain in the center.

There were a million reasons
to abandon hope like a
child unclaimed, to
crumble to the dust
sorrow leaves behind
on the surface of untouched
things, the rooms left
unchanged and frozen in time.

You held me together,
the shrapnel of a soul after
explosion dismantled.
I held you up, when
gravity broke under the force
of tragedy.  One reason,
we called this, the one
that kept us clinging.

Give it a year, and
we’ll see,
call it lunacy if we don’t last
a dozen phases of
the moon.  

I have lost count of the waxing,
the waning, the crescents
between all that shine.  

We’ll chalk up this love
as temporary insanity
that just hasn’t seen fit to end
quite yet.
