So many things in life are hard
Difficult
Complex
We struggle just to rise some days
And float along the next
Such imperfect cadences
Flow smoothly to the rocky
Rapid stones within this winding river
Flung around a blinded bend
Straight into a logjam
How surprising
Unexpected
We are stuck while others pass us by
As we untangle from the brambles
That caught our little boat
Frustrated at
A nexus
Striving to be on the way again
We make paddles out of branches
Weaving them together
Like our lives tightly intertwined
The only thing that’s easy
The only thing that’s smooth
The one thing I can count on truly
Is this love I have for you
When it comes to you
My heart is steady
This love is
The well from which I draw
Effortless
This love is
Unending cosmic music through the
Galaxy
We are free now drifting slowly
We are holding on and letting go
We are graceful in slow motion
Certain when we come to racing water
The world around us whirling
We dance around the rapids now
Effortless
Together
Effortlessly
Bound
In spirit
This is why we try
Heart centered motivation
Love in daily action
Eyes opened wide and wider
To see each other clearer
While we navigate this stream
My love is effort
Effortlessly sound
