It is said “a good man brings order, stability, discipline, love, provision & security. He imparts self-esteem & values. He stands for good & fights for those he loves. Still… answers to outside questions are often realized only when one is willing to nurture that which resides within. (Image by Dadbook)

A Simple Complexity
We learn it from puppy licks
And kitten purrs,
From bird bath chirps
And bedtime hugs.
We test it with raging hormone safaris,
Stalking its elusive coupling,
Enigmas we thought familiar,
Now but jesters in our youthful courts.
We come to know its quintessence
By accepting the disappointment of lies,
The 4 alarm fires of the heart
Flooded by ducts of tear-laden fear.
Courage is born
As the sun awakens moments anew,
Where hope and expectation
Patiently await destiny.
Growing feelings once so simple,
Now of experience hard fought,
Embrace the unattached heart of being,
That state of mind
Without need of anchor,
A simple complexity,
The inward caress,
Forever afloat as essence…
Love.
