Purpose Taken Away
What do the tree roots think
When fire destroys its branches
What does a calm sea shore do
When erosion takes away all its memories
What does a heart and mind do
When it is stripped of love’s continuance
So much of life is with purpose
So often
Life must bear its loss
Yet…
How fortunate for those of us
Able to find words to express such loss
To hopefully arrest other’s attention
To the risk of thinking purpose
Is permanent
Even though…
Purpose can find other focuses
Other hearts and minds willing
To take the risk
After all…
What is life
Without a willingness
To risk
Even though answers to such a need
May be hesitant in coming.
