Tonight Held a Blessing

I had a date tonight, but didn't feel like going.
I'm not sure
     whether it was
 

             t h e    w e a r i n e s s


of having      given               f  o  r  c  e  d emotion
    time
       and
          time
             
                 AGAIN

(oh, I am exhausted),
                             

               or simply

that I knew              tonight
                                                    held a blessing.


                       Indeed, I have found love

in      a         book            of

            poems.

                 What joy b e y o n d interaction!


Waiting for me                     tonight


     was           my           own        soul.


          And     it     feels   g o o d

 to open
       the
           cover.
