Spent

On the inchoate character of life, love, and sometimes our maturity in these matters.

You are the rise and Fall 

of my chest;

dew-kissed mornings of Spring;

the space between what lies above

and what dwells in me below. 

But I used you as a life-

preserver;

as a sustainable nervous energy. 

Yet you are a human

with a natural God-fearing half-life;

and I am so sorry if I used you all up.

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Sometimes we meet and need people to get us through but it should be the exchange of good healing energies- we all have something to learn and something to give- wonderful words🌹
