ComesThe Dawn


Comes the Dawn

After a while you learn the subtle
difference

Between holding a hand and chaining
a soul,

And you learn that love doesn't mean
leaning

And company doesn't mean security.

And you begin to learn that kisses
aren't contracts

And presents aren't promises,

And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head held up and your eyes open,
With the grace of a woman, not the
grief of a child

And you learn to build all your roads
On today because tomorrow's ground
Is too uncertain for plans, and
futures have
A way of falling down
in mid-flight.

After a while you learn that even
sunshine
Burns if you get too much.

So you plant your own garden and
decorate
Your own soul, instead of waiting
For someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can
endure....

That you really are strong
That you really have worth.
And you learn and learn....
With every goodbye you learn.

I love this.  Used to have it on my refrigerator, and then we moved (and moved again and again) and I only just found it the other day while going thru my bag that has all my poetry folders in it.  I never get tired of seeing it.  Thanks for posting!!!


Luv, Kis
