Terms and Conditions

Rainfall
The years

are a punishing rain

bearing down on us

until at last

it is

over.



Age
Our bodies may age

but our minds

can remain

youthful eternally

if we will it

to be so.




The Abstract
We pursue

abstract ideals

as a means

towards

improvement of spirit

and physical being.



Vida
Life is neither good nor bad,

it is our perception

of it that leads us

to believe

one or the other.

Life is a series of events

both within our control

and out.

We strive to make

the best from that we can influence

and learn to accept

that which we cannot.




As We Are
I never want to be

completely content.

By being incomplete

there is always room

to grow

to love

to understand.




My Great Mistake
I was selfish

in wanting you

all these years,

expecting your love

for my own alone.

Love can only

be given freely

and without

condition.

Anything less

falls short

of real love.



Do You Believe In Providence Or Common Sense?



An (Un)Necessary Cruelty.
What is this

we once felt

but now is gone?

A spark ignited

now doused by rain.

We were once

but now are not.

A casualty of our humanity

Our Love?

An exercise

in futility.
