Partnership (for my anniversary) Choosing can be the closing of doors If that is how one wishes to see it. But that is a choice as well. All optionality lost, All multiverses collapsing into one. Yet choosing can be a new life opening. One should see it as such. If one looks with fresh eyes, The joining of two in partnership allows new worlds, New hopes, new treasure; all opportunities unlocked. Commitment brings real promise. All the rest was just potential. All the rest was wistful dreaming. Having chosen, being chosen, committed each to one, Bonded together at last all dreaming becomes real. The challenges are now coupled with sincere consequence, Yet consequence implies meaning, implies attainment. Once in, one can never look back other than to smile at what, Once held as valuable, melts into insignificance. Then, one felt the world stood ready before him and for him. Now, one realizes that was a world devoid of substance Incomplete and unsatisfying. The life from before seemed real, But it was just a dream of what a real life could be. The life now reveals that which was before a charming trap From which he most gratefully has escaped To a new real world, a real life, With beauty and mystery and fulfillment That he could only glimpse in mere wish before.
