Ever better

It’s hard to say
When something stands
Just out of reach
Forever

A rich tree of goodness
Fertile fingers sink into the soil
A ribbon that wants to wind around
And bind two souls
A long sunset that sings each day
Into the ground.

It’s hard today

If there is a way for all to unwind
And find its natural place and flourish
That life might bloom into life
Then may it happen.

Without waiting -
But devoted rather to a sole investment
In learning ever better how to love
That, breathing free, the world might open up
And offer greater riches still.
