we can look back if we need to
for remembrance
....i have loved before
i have always loved
-in every phase of my life
i have always believed that if you allow your heart to remain open
that love will find its way to you
no matter how low you may be,
or strong
ready or not
if you want to see yourself,
just ask someone to hold the mirror
you can have those lessons
you must only see yourself in it to make it so
but time has moved me close to myself
my love and tender compassion
behold
my dearest affection
of self
my fairest companion- my eyes and heart are forgiving,
even loving
at long last
for the first time in my life
and so
i appeared as quickly as i vanished
from invisible to sparkling clear
and through that lens, i can see him
and now i fall asleep laughing
i wake up cherished
get cowboy love songs played for me
i get understood
i get autonomy
i am with him and myself at the same time
i never leave me
he would call me back if i did
because my presence is required
for this to work
not like before
there is no rush/no tremble
this love is calm
there is more to it than love alone
there are tangible things inside it
time is there with it
and idle moments spent well
hard work and bothersome chores
that become crisp and filling
quiet is there inside of the love
he gives me
it is there that i seek my solace
when
this world (as it always has and always will)
becomes too loud
and closed in
too much and too abrasive
i know i can be safe
in his arms
