Try closeness as a comfort
Warmth as a blanket to the cold.
Pleasure weathers heartache
Hardening the skin
Allowing empathy to grow kind.
Follow extremes
Accept samples of love
As dark and light realities.
When the wondering retreats
We can halt half way to freedom
Retrace footprints to find balance.
Once I questioned
Now I answer freely,
Untainted,
And with more clarity
Than the present.
