By Way Of Not-Knowing

by Laura H / Libra - Not entered

Sometime when we are both beside
the ancient oak in the rutted field
where a horse was once set out
 to pasture, where one dark, stumbling night
a stranger put her hands on a young man's
unsuspecting hips, or sometime
when we have left off wishing
and hoping and gone on tracing another face
with hands a little less familiar, guided
by separate hearts that are a little less
known, sometime on either planet
when the mud has cleared and for once
we knew which way was best for travel
and like soldiers we went, sometime
when our futures have been exacted
by a choice.......
------------there is more but you have to request it to get it!
