Magical Mess

 I am chosen  like a natural choice like the river chooses the ocean like the moon chooses the earth like the bird chooses flight like the cheetah chooses chase like the logistics don't matter  once a choice is made I am a choice made with ease And if it's not easy to thee Do not choose me -maithili 

 we create a mosaic  with all the shattered pieces  of our home every squabble a tessara with every stand and shared laughter and play sacrifice  commitment to live in love and the rebellious act of choosing peace an image so enthralling to see our broken family  made of whole people  -maithili 

 I learn of a dimension beyond words a language of silence  something novel, and dated primal, yet sophisticated  I am a woman of language  my service my sentences and yet I fell short today to all that you didn't even say just our initials carved on the bench and all the pricey meals paid for just two arms around my waist  and several kisses on my face just my hair being brushed and my body gently washed a long drive to pick me up  just some tea in my cup so much has been said without any exchange of words like the hummus wrap for a better diet  in your world of quiet  -maithili 

 I sit back in divine trust stringing words with leisure  writing them as they come no haste to be done only the desire to be nourished by the flow to let go to be smitten  as the verse is being written  to breathe in its beauty  to pour in it all the time it is taking  to breathe out there is no doubt  that we're an elegant poem in making  -maithili
