The One

You were never the one.

Even once I convinced myself that I cared

So much

About you.

I still do, just not

In the way I once hoped for.

But you were never the one.

I thought you might be the one.

Just for a short while

After saying things I thought 

I meant

But didn't, really.

For a while I tried so hard but

You weren't the one.

You are the one.

I never thought I'd know the way 

I do

But I do, and I have

From the moment when everything 

Came to light.

I know it's you. 

You are the one.

The Voice in My Heart

Love this world as you love each other:
Honestly, fervently, selflessly.

Love this world as you love your work:
Passionately, with dedication, with perseverance.

Love this world as you are loved:
Without judgement, wholly, and infinitely.

Tomorrow

"Tomorrow is a fresh, new day with no mistakes in it." - Anne of Green Gables

Not that today had a lot of mistakes or anything... It was really quite fine. Just fine. But I am reminded that it is these "just fine" days that help the most wonderful ones truly stand out. :)
The other thing, of course, is that each day is what you make of it. It is the attitudes we ultimately choose to react with that make or break any given situation. And, while today I did just fine, tomorrow is a fresh start in choosing joy as my approach to life. 

So here's to tomorrow.

Evening Prayer

I will hang my hopes on the stars
Suspended in the black blanket of night,
For in those distant lights
I feel the Infinity that is waiting for us.

I stood still in the temperate evening
Feeling my heart beat in time
With the spinning of the earth
Beneath the darkened Heaven.

(In this moment, I felt Forever.)

We are two pinpricks
In this vast and immeasurable existence,
Shining separately and now burning brighter,
Having been brought together.

But we are not alone.
We are surrounded by lights,
Laid in a grand scheme of unending sky,
Answering hopes with our infinitesimal Infinity.

I Want to Cry

I want to cry

And yell

And laugh

All at once!

For I am overcome by

The adoration for life

Awakened within this soul

By the pure taste of

Joy

That loving you brings.

Seed

A seed sown in mid-May

Warmed in the summer sun

Peeked through in October rain

Wintered the cold months

And bloomed in mid-May.

Tonight/Tomorrow

Tonight/
I shall be an adult...
I shall brush my teeth.
I shall wash my face.
I shall slip on pajamas.
I will put away my laundry.
I will pick up my shoes.
I will hang up my skirt.
I will be an adult...
/Tomorrow
