Getting there
I'm not sure where there is.
It used to be that all I wanted
Was to get married
And have kids.
And it didn't happen.
And it didn't happen.
And it didn't happen.
And after the third time,
I said to myself that perhaps
It wasn't supposed to happen
And threw all of me into other things
My Ph.D., my teaching, my deviant self.
And then, of course, it happened.
And really, once you get there, it's
Almost the end of everything, because
The child is a black hole of love and attention.
Inside of me, inside an older, more temperate
More attentive me, there are other aspects
Waiting to be birthed:
The artist, the poet, the lonely
Watcher, overwhelmed with beauty.
I love where I am now
But I still see a path
Running ahead like moon on the water
And I pray for clear skies.
Good job on being out of your box. Its hard to create out of your box but at the same time you learn not only your software but something about yourself to help others. Well put. I'm proud of this for you.
