my heart awakened after years of hollow stasis,
it pulls me towards a solid brick wall
across its surface a thousand questions are scrawled
and I don't know if I have an answer to any of them
or a way to scale the wall and see what lies beyond
a fabled wonderland of tenderness and understanding
after all those years of a practical “love”
does my heart now yearn for the impractical?
A love which offers itself up as a puzzle -
one you find yourself desperate to solve
to change and compromise and commit
and find the pieces that always seemed to fit.
Because my heart desires to swell again
to remember the way loves makes you
the way it fills and ignites you
and makes every wall a stepping stone
to one of the beauties that make life radiant
despite all the questions left unanswered.
