Me

I am but a shadow
I drift in the wind
On the ether of this earth
I am but a notion
A wordless old saying
Which
Makes old men laugh with memory
I am but a distant thought
Made to be the concerns of
Not many
I am just a shadow
I am just a notion
I am
Me

Love Is - Carys and Shaun

Love is
Not easy
Love is often
The hardest mountain to climb
We speak of Everests
This is a Mariana Trench
Where only three people have ever physically been
Love is
A challenge
Daily causing to question
Is this the right thing?
Are they the right person?
Am I living the life I want to?
That I am meant to?
That I should?
Love is
Demanding
Formidable
Unyielding and -
Yet love is
The greatest of all prizes
It is 
All the diamonds in the multilayered technicolour multiverse
It is
Every living creature beneath the great azure sky which stretches from farthest east to greatest west
It is
Worth all the air you will ever breathe
Because love is air itself
Love comes and says
You are precious
It comes and says
You are wanted
Love tells you
You are living a good life
And no matter what you do
Where you go
Who you see
You will always be worthy
To love's other eyes
For love comes not in praise and glory
But love comes
Quiet and alone
Found in the most unusual of places
Love
Is not easy to find sometimes
Nor is it often
Wanted
But love is just and
Love is fair
Patient
Kind
And when love exists between
Two people
It can make
Miracles

Future you

My future darling
I cannot say how much I am looking forward to meeting you.
This week you started moving
I could feel your rhythm as you squirmed and kicked your way inside my belly
You are
Thoroughly already a pain
Causing discomfort, stress and agnst
Yet
I love you already
Only twenty weeks old and already
You show
The delights of life
On this day as I read the harshest laws
That Alabama placed for those who
Have a miscarriage or need an abortion beyond six weeks
I think about how lucky we are
Living in this
The most beautiful land
Though we are but fools
I am determined that this world, this country
Will be the one you deserve to be raised in
You are the apple of my eye my darling
And I delight in thinking of
The day we meet
