FLUX
Unsettled in new spaces....
New fears, new faces....
The only comforter:
Bittersweet memories....
No one around
to share happiness with or grief....
Unsettled by the disturbing past
Disturbed by the unsettled present....
There comes a smile....
With a face carrying it.....
Only to apologize later.
You slowly find some warmth
In this frosty, unknown space.
A sweet and smiling stranger....
Who somehow seems to understand
Somehow seems to know.
A twinkling pair of eyes...
Always full of smiles...
A diabetic little man
you wonder at...
He seems so much at peace....
Forever happy.
One gets a little envious...
Doesn't the newness get to him....?
You find him scary....
A stranger he is, and you want to
share your mind with him.
One keeps osmoting
from this side of the fear to ....
Getting comfortable and then again
setting new boundaries....
Fear of getting too accustomed and settling
It builds up into a relationship
over a year
that one is afraid to call friendship
It seems too formal ....
and too shared to call acquaintance.
It freezes
and then thaws again with a smile.
A flow of conversations later
it freezes again
only to thaw again... another time.
