They didn’t share her vision.”
Fables & Fallacies

Good Intentions

Like waves in the sea?
Like the heavens’ expanse
Stretching off into eternity?

Uniting to form perfect symmetry?

How Does One Know?
When a soul has been alone a long time
Questions underlying everything surface
It is no longer enough to merely connect
How do they know that they are wanted?
And what secures their partner will stay
When one did all they could, previously
To no effect in retaining the intended
Rendering enamored a fool believing
