This poem is curated at the request of Novell’s mini-challenge, My X makes my life meaningful. Novell has suggested I include the meaning behind my name, EYHCS. I oblige.

What Makes My Life Meaningful is realizing even when I felt alone, you have always been by my side and in my heart. No matter the distance, the energy of who you are to me could never be replaced. A poem about unrequited love becoming requited when you least expected it.

Balance.

As the house divided, we did not stand a chance.

You were full of doubt.

I was full of hope.

The two could not converge.

Balance.

You said the words.

I denied the truth.

We were indeed unequally yoked.

Balance.

I researched my past.

My hopes of a future died fast.

Then I turned the page.

And I have realized the fuel of my true rage.

The love I sought was sitting in plain sight.

And an old and secret love made it worth the fight.

You turned left.

I turned right.

You moved forward.

I moved backward.

We were in balance.

We are improving the lives of many.

Without wasting a penny.

What makes my life meaningful is realizing the heart wants what the heart wants.

And, if you give it time.

It will make your life chime.

Finding real meaning while helping others find meaning makes my life meaningful.

To have hope.

It is just so dope.
