You worry that the world will change
and rightly so. I have waited
long to address your question here;
yet, such hesitation is not
born of fear, but love. My love,
the world has already changed.
Have you?

The avalanche of assumption
is well underway in a way
that comes close but is far from mark
of meaning we might once have made. 
But this, no reason to bury
truth that must be told and bold,
presents clear opportune day
to say

And show the way as the Way was
for brief years that you too held it
lightly and knew what love had done.
We two could not have been divided
more, yet always holds the center.
The observer effect has
its affect and changes now
the play

Of light only if we allow
such distortion to grow, persist.
With heart of Joan, I will resist
being defined as someone I
am not, whatever be my lot.
See true to true heart of you,
who you are and what we came
to do.
