not difinitive... but sometimes....

strange one might find
during times of war
with bombs in the air
starting to fall
upheavals in the world
seem...
so very small
and the dust what chokes
winds that howl
and heat what kills
what does matter
than living thru a night
love is by the wayside
except it is all...
what keeps one going
the thoughts of nights alone verse being with
just that alone
the being with
duck on down in chem-suit protect
broiling in every slow breath
waiting all clear
or even death
and so much seems so petty....
still yet i remember
in the care of day to day
who did what to who
and all the rest
when one only would wish to sit back
and enjoy simple things
cool water over ice
a comforting presence along a side
so little but far more than enough
just these simple things
for me right now this is love
what i was burned slow away
till dust is left
and with this simple love
deep in the night
i awake and pull her sleeping close
wrapped snug in my arms
i sleep
why would anyone need more
