There’ll be a second, moment, time,
when I won’t think to pay that dime
wrapped, preserved, within the soul
and waiting there symbolically
as the all I give to you.

And there’ll be another time perhaps
when interest on what wasn’t paid
will weight me like a Christmas tree
and stand me in a corner
a forever non-partaker
in true love’s celebration.

But I’ve searched to not now find again
that dime I knew was always there
and so for me who gave and lost
I guess a bed up in a loft
to be as one in heaven
but surely not as blessed.

To pay or not?  To love or not?
And there’ll come another time, I bet
when the jingle and the emptiness
will blend into no consequence
and so of beds and trees and such
I guess it’s all just too much … junk!

Love,
never should its worth be endebted, for cherished is its true sum.
I always enjoy your verse Honeybunch...even the heavier sighs.

The cost of loving is the hearts greatest loss.
Sure makes for good poetry though!

Hugs you, Helen~

and that would be a pity, dear Helen! You write masterfully.

Love and debts in giving and receiving though alter love's essence, which is, I think, allergic to measurements ... being limitless, infinite, only waiting to be shared abundantly.

And I know that you know!

Love and hugs.

  Yes, I do know but thanks for reminding me.  "I guess" we're all inclined to forget ... that a bed in a loft is so much more than many others can ever hope to have.

Love

Hi, Honey!

"I guess" that there is one heckuvvalot of "junk" in one's life that can make one jaded at times. I've been there. Mind you, I now throw caution to the wind and I live ~ really live, and pay ~ and love ~ without fear in my heart. Come what may, I have an inner knowing that all will ultimately be for my Higher Good. I still have 'achy-breaky' moments, but they are all a part of my life's journey. Adversity has made me resilient! lol

Loving hug,
Linda
