(There are many good ways to be together. And even though this is a lovers' poem, I chose the graphic to show how it can mean whatever kind of togetherness you need to make it through 2012. So embrace the way that is open to you in the New Year!)
TOGETHER
Almost gone...
another year with you.
And even though the space,
the times,
the conversations
feel more cluttered with
the fallen leaves
of anger,
fear,
and pain,
yet here we are,
together.
Almost here...
another year with you.
And even when the days,
the weeks,
the months
may feel less measured by
the missing words
of desire,
affection,
and love,
yet here we are,
together.
