More Than Possible (poem)

and the other heart…

More Than Possible

Is it still
possible even
after
all these years
of trying
with little
success
for the attempt?

The way the wind
playfully
teases your hair
as you stand in wonder
on a bluff
at the edge
of the world

as you cast
fears and hopes
desires and wishes
out across
the universe

in search of
what…
a lost or
lingering love
that may still
be out there

among
the roiling
white caps,
tossing your love
this way and that,
reaching
for the beach
in vain, once more.
