The moment before our lips made fast
we were adrift
flotsam free floating on fortune’s tide
short of a soul mate
drifting in deep water
but a kiss brought us safely to shore
The moment before she was born
we were incomplete
a picture puzzle fresh from the box
but missing one piece
to fill that space
we made her and she made us whole once more
The moment before he told us
I was not diseased
our family tree was in full leaf
sturdy, reliable,
through graft and husbandry
assured of future fruits to harvest
The moment before…what?
I am lost
destination unknown
recalculating
a new path to plot
will be the best or the hardest
