Strangest thing

To pull out stakes from heart
and watch the leak of energy
flow freely to the floor
was the strangest thing I’ve ever done.

‘twas just a mental pull and tug
with intent behind the force
that left a large and empty hole
where love was meant to be ~

and so then I believed
that stakes removed can bring about
love’s certain demise ~

but then I did not believe
because I saw love still alive
at the base of my belief.

It trickled this way/that
as if the floor tilted
in accordance with the times
but I know to wait till finally
all the parts come back together
and the winds of change are ready.

And so that’s the way it goes
a pull and tug, a flow,
a trickle this way/that,
and a wait for the return
of the true state of heart!
