The Sum of my Being

Things I know for sureare mapped outin a geographical atlasof love. The past has planted itselfin harsh terrainsover places that my hearthas chosen to forget...but only for moments.The geography of loveis measured by the distancesbetween what I gaveand what was left behindthrough vast rivers of tears,down valleys of disappointments,into landscapes of forgiveness.The lifeline of me is an illustrationthat’s neither here or therecalculating winnings and losseswhich have molded me intosome mystical monument at this time.I have provided virgin territoryfor another explorerto conquer in me,settle into my continent,while allowing the outerocean waters of lifeto gently touch the shoresof my heartso I can give back what I know for sure:the sum of my being.
