Turning point

Determined not to care
busy with the weight assigned,
sharing the weight of others.

Duty bound, task oriented

Then the distraction of you,
thinking I was past it.

Turning again--
focus
work
ministry
Control
Structure
Duty.

Leaving,
involved in conversation
you turned,


and for the first time

you
acknowledged my existence

I melted.



And melted I remain.
