The Experience

The Experience

Loving
is not based in projection or presumption,
nor in complete and total
consumption.
(That's not Love - that's something else.)

Another person
is always entitled
to live, to be free,
to express one's insightful proclivities;
to maintain one's way of center
or preference to stay
or exit
or re-enter.

Appreciation is the turning key,
holding all possibility;
releasing the mind
in its fight to the death;
Experience
is the everlasting breath.
