A wish you spoke I wish you wrote
Oft flutters for a queasy float.
Move on I will and grant you yours
On through the never ending moors.
The ingenuity of simplicity I wrote of is most strongly applied in this stanza. My mother's last wish for me was that I would be able to move on from my daughters' mother due to her cheating on me and leaving to be with someone else, only to come back when realizing how badly she missed having more time with our daughters and the superior security I had to offer.
My mother was a professional lifeguard and her favorite lesson to teach was of learning how to float on one's back in complete stillness, surrendering to the ebbs and flows of the water.
Surrendering to what moving on will bring has been a source of much queasiness in that part of it is accepting the likelihood of the remainder of my life being one of solitude apart from the relationship with my daughters.
I sacrificed a bit of ingenuity of expression when writing this poem in order to finally write one with steady, consistent meter throughout.
