Our unfettered selves collided today
A pop quiz lay at our feet
And we pulled through unscathed
Almost
In the midst of the muddle
A bit of our magic got rubbed off
The sensation—a scrape—so gentle
Yet there
As I felt the inevitable sting
My heart sorely fell for a moment
The shine that had been ever so blinding
Now paled
But then—
I could better view our humanity
The beauty of both of us
Embracing in unsparing charity
Solace
Flooded in and buoyed by the kindness
Within our perfectly flawed exchange
Giving with a brighter fondness
Darling,
Magic's paint only lasts so long
Seen through the clear glass of acceptance
Is where this lovely vision belongs
