learning capacity

How to make things 
matter less than I find them to be
Make it make sense
when this was never me

Observing myself more
What does this mean?
What did I want,
and what did it mean I need? 

Take what was obvious
and the subtle trajectory 
Make some notes on each move
that was quite unsatisfactory

Did I require work?
Oh yes, that I did, respectfully 
but anything worth it, will
Solid trust is not won so easily

But the point is that
When things are delicately lovely
You're in it before you know it 
and the care feels like inevitability 

Most of it is fun and interesting
when you're throwing yourself into the mystery
And then letting the photo develop 
with the time of patient mastery

Yes, I think I require a bit of effort
and I'm not mad at it, truthfully
But wow, when people come and make it
appear, what I want is met so easily...

That's when I know it is not
my expectation or in the asking
But in the subject, and the person
and their baseline capacity
