              All for Love

Under a grey-glowering sky
of tall, relentless clouds with
a hint of sterile thunder
and inexplicable splendor, that
welcome only grand indifference,
the rains of November have
come early on this dark, Wintry
afternoon of October passing
beyond these decaying mountains
of endless Time that remain only
‘home’ to the restless wind.
I long for a heart as vast, deep,
and calm as the sea at its best,
and a place to rest in some
far different and better world,
beyond the endless dirge of
   profit and loss,
and the frivolous demands
   of whispering gods,
where giving up all for love
would matter more than
anything else ever thought,
ever dreamed, ever done.

It seems as we get older things become so simple and suddenly so real.

quite true, Ms. Ida !

(... and hopefully there is true 'wisdom' garnered somewhere along the way?!)
