Nirvana in the Eye

You get me

All the rest that went before

In and out through love's door

The long term

The in between

Were a hardscape of struggles

Overt at times but mostly unseen

So much energy thrown about

Trying to keep up

Trying not to trip up

Trying to shut up

Trying not to give up

Never finding the nirvana

In the eye of the hurricane

Just 180 mph winds

And torrents of pelting rain

You can make a puzzle piece fit if you force it

But the edges will never be smooth

The pattern will be off

The picture won’t be right

When you find the one that completes the puzzle

The male and female join together

The union is easy

Relaxed

Calm

The edges are smooth

The picture is complete

As it should be

You and me
