There is always some moment
When everything ever held in the heart
Changes dramatically over the course
Of human responsibility and development
And we strive to believe
The new expectations or lessons
That frighten the inner depths,
Of our existence
That has lead us to
Apprehend the new lessons
Taught to us
In bitterness or sweetness
To the evolvement of
What we have perceived,
To be the basis for
Our belonging,
To the mystery and fondness
Of this thing called,
Life.
