You question I no longer weep
my eyes no longer look your way,
pure token gestures from my heart
strewn a path you once held sway.
The tears that welled and over-spilt
leaving riveulets lash to chin,
have ceased to flow in aqueise
all consuming yet felt like sin.
In their place you will notice shine
reflections of an inner peace,
genuine soul from deep within
exhaled sigh that will never cease.
Winds of change often come and go
cause ripples in the tide of life,
a minuet with string of pearls
in the place of a cutting knife.
This purple cloak this fragrant flower
a hallmark I choose for my own,
asking nothing back as payment
proving nothing is set in stone.
