FallsInMay

I am important 
I am fortunate 
I am grateful 
I am fucked up
I am 
In love

FallsInMay

Sometimes
It's like heaven, a swirling and twirling around my head, that slowly makes it's way throughout and I swear I can feel your weight.

Sometimes 
It's like when I'm having a conversation with a friend and I look up and realize they've left the room.

My Symphony
By William Ellory Canning

To live content with small means
To seek elegance rather than luxury 
and refinement rather than fashion
To be worthy not respectable 
and wealthy not rich
To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly
To listen to stars, birds, babes and sages
with open heart
To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely,
await occasions, hurry never
In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden, and
unconscious grow up through the common
This is to be my Symphony 


If you notice, the word love is not included
Perhaps it was written 
about love

FallsInMay

When your life's work is over
and the story is at it's end
You'll remember all the time given
the hours, the days, the nights
the years
the years
the years
Filled with obligations, successes, heartaches
revelations and perhaps, misplaced love

Now, a new story begins
And the love you gave to your life's work 
is perhaps, lying in the bed next to you

Any work left behind 
will find it's own way

FallsInMay

We are like the stars, you and I
All brilliant and extraordinary 
And even when the night sky is filled with clouds
I am not afraid
For, I know they're still there, shining bright

FallsInMay

Lately, I've been reading, daily, a poem about
Patience 
Meant to keep me in check
To push back the sadness and frustration 
To stop the flow of words, that hurt

But today I wonder if what I really feel is
Acceptance 

And, although both are calming
Patience, implies hope
Acceptance, implies......giving up?

As long as I remain calm
I guess it doesn't really matter

FallsInMay

I say it doesn't matter
instead of I don't care
Because I do
And if it doesn't matter
then I am less 
bitter

I am this other thing

Our time together is less,
whether by circumstance or design
My days are long and the nights are longer
So, I guess it does matter
until it doesn't 
And I'll be here
until I'm not

FallsInMay

I will not let
the fear,
the unknown and unseen,
the loneliness
dictate who I can love

I am not afraid
to love
who I love

I love, who I love
Who, I love
You, I love
