Writing Our Stories

Each day is a page in the
novel that makes up our lives.

With one page
the plot may thicken.

Another may be brimmed with tears.

Some may be painted with smiles.

While other pages may just be fillers.

Some pages
you wish you could hold on to
forever
and never turn.

But, there are times,
you get lucky

and you get to start a new chapter.

A Little Bit of Rumi (because I can't help myself)

LONGING

Longing is the core of mystery.
Longing itself brings the cure.
The only rule is, suffer the pain.

Your desire must be disciplined, 
and what you want to happen
in time, sacrificed.

You have said what you are.
I am what I am.
Your actions in my head.
My head here in my hands
with something circling inside.
I have no name
for what circles
so perfectly.

The minute I heard my first love story
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.

SKY-CIRCLES

The way of love is not
a subtle argument.

The door there
is devastation.

Birds make great sky-circles
of their freedom.

How do they learn that?
They fall, and falling,
they're given wings.
