Here’s a poem about commitment. I wonder how many other things it is about.
I'm Already Taken
The wind and earth fought
over me but I belong
to the pale moonlight,
to starry rivers,
to the morning shine of sun,
to your warm rose heart.

There is a certain shivery-ness about this poem and the picture, that reminds me of a now distant pathworking I once did. Too long to narrate here, and in any case the meaning wasn't clear. That experience filled me with a sense of wonder and hope, and there are echoes of that experience here. My thanks.

taken that is...
who knows
they don't, that's for sure
they are sure that the
answer sits far from me
much like that little thing,
that is they are sure, of course,
my sanity
Am I taken
have I been took
the only way
you say
is for me to look
from on my knees

Not the only way. This is an also look from here as much and then again and again and again. My last real effort was longer than a year.
