Sweetness

Each of us grasps at the sweet threads –
filaments of possibility  –
hoping they will pull us
into the deep source

They trail from hopes, from stories,
which tell of how to catch them,
but if we fail to win the stories’ ending,
there’s no need to despair –
those endings may deliver fine true love,
but the sweetness also is right here,
and we can feel it everywhere.
