Compatibility must equal completability
Shortcuts are merely filled in puffery
Hollow words, meaningless emotions
Materialism can be vastly blinding
As well as lustful short shortsightedness
I’ve endured- most mysteriously
Two marriages achieving dissolution
I used to describe them as “failed”
However over time that changed
Reflection can be most illuminating
Now- I refer to them more honestly
They simply reached due “incompleteness”
I also deflected any responsibility myself
My ego felt hurt enough, giving the scars as it was
As if I could arbitrarily assess true guilt
But- it too has learned to swallow it’s bitter truth
And today, I know I shared their ineptness
Which makes them worthy of the venture
Albeit a cruel way love does some lessons
I think now, I understand what I’m seeking
And what’s never bound for…my completeness

Where flight became stalled
Because fear stood its ground
There- is where I- was reborn
Where I relearned my reality
As broken fragments of a self
Where I’ve seen the unveilings
Of time, truth, and Holy love
Where angels cried and wept
For my salvation and healing
And I- wept along with them
Where fire seared my mission
Forged into my soul as passion
A combatant for the wounded
Of humanities silenced…truths
