The Magnitude


of our relationship.....
in the present
of the vast unknown
a nail bitten off
a file in hand
can it be fixed
it has to grow again
like an orchid
clip it before the bud
nurture it with love
watch it blossom
a glorious moment
upon the awakening
of the first yawn
and, then the next
and the next
full bloom
utter dignity
alive with stature
when the blossom falls
it falls gently
knowing that
it will be reincarnated
