Compromise

you to me
would be home
the real place
I dream of
I can not deny
concessions of
things that are
nor do I
refuse to see
dust of difficulty
in the distance
yet,
I am willing
to the sharing
of compromise

"dust of difficulty

OOH, neat phrase!
I like both the idea and the poetry of it.
Original for sure.

Now that's poetry....

The essential nature of it, the few careful and well-formed words that capture meaning within meaning. A pleasure to read most anything of yours, and this one's especially touching to me.
