REQUESTS

Each choice made provokes
A never ending chain of ends;
Beginnings that will never be,
Thoughts that will fade,
Friends that come together,
Relations forever harmed,
Ideas that will never surface:
A passion inspired to live.

Being in a moment of choice
Facing the newly creating strings
Requires time to consider,
Patience to sit quietly with others,
Emotional resilience to move on,
Forgoten-ness to remember,
Lovingfull-ness to respond:
A passion inspired by you.
