You said you could offer me nothing
But friendship
And in that moment
I understood your words
That every moment is unknowable
And that an authentic path is never forged
By force of will
And that all attempts
To control what will or will not be
Are completely futile
For the winds of the soul
Are completely untamable
And what steers the heart unpredictable
For in each moment we re-invent ourselves
All we can ever be sure of
Is that, with time
All becomes clear
