Windswept
whisked away
swept into the night
broken into a thousand
cubes of scattered stars
fragments of me
splinters of you
in my side
I’ll never know
why it was
it came to be
I am ever changing
I was blind
half my life
and could not see
even though mine eyes
were fully opened
it was me all along
that part that was there
seemingly
hidden
I know now
why I couldn’t see
our magnificent beauty
it was always
there to see
It was me who wasn’t
paying attention
It was me who had to change
his colors from green
to drab brown
slowly turning
into vivid gold
something had changed
inside this man
in becoming
what was always there
finally
materializing
to conscious view
because I no longer
feared
the unknown
my unwillingness
to see
had
vanished
