the churning

the churning

when i first met u, it flashed
you held the key to my destination
how badly my soul needed you
for my emotional salvation

the worldly wise me
wanted to disregard the insight
continue on the not so uncomfortable road
in the familiar darkness of night

your promises I conveniently heard,
you coaxed me out of my lair,
vainly, i let u love me,
thinking that all was fair.

somewhere along, u taught me to love,
a love without clinging,love not so needy
a love that wants to give,
a love not so greedy.

love that is delightful,pure and content,
love that is placid, calm, neat
love that is comfortably silent,
the churning is complete
