"Fundamentally True"

The striving
To be more lyrical,
Like music-

Of temperament
And spirit:

And those moments
When you know it's time-
To take your mind,
And clear it.

Not that you'll see
Everything as new-

No, just the act
Of getting back-

To the basic things...

That like a child,
You've always known
To be fundamentally true.

Such as those-

Though their hearts
Have been so badly broken:

Leaving them in despair...

Will meet somebody new-

And try to love again.
