Embrace Impermanence

A love with you,
as rare as a blue moon.

And then blue moonbeams
danced upon us,
and made it all come true.

~e.i

My wish for you,
is that
you stop quieting
the voice inside
that
sings in tune
with your heart beat.

~e.i

you and me,
the moon and the sea.

your heart’s pull
making me dance,
sending waves laughing,
and soft prints
across the sand.

~e.i

My whole life
I’ve been trying to write a song.
And then I met you
and realized
that
I am the song.

~e.i

That last time we lay together,
you whispered in my ear.
I smiled.

In all of existence,
I am the only one
who heard those words.

And in all of existence,
you wont find another heart
that whispers the same words to you.

Every
single
day.

~e.i

Before I can reach down to press their shoulders,
their bodies are rising up to meet my hands.

Starved.

Deep sighs as soon our skin makes contact.
Hard and icy bodies melting under my hands.
This language spoken only through skin.

Look at you carrying on through the day.
Skin wrapped tight around a fearful heart.
Put it down my friend please.
Put down your weapons.
You can pick it up later,
but for this one moment
put it down.

What is the urgency?
What conclusion are you rushing towards?
Put it down my friend.
Put down your pain.
A conclusion will always be there
for you to arrive at.

For now,
simply be.
Breathe easy.
Feel a little peace.

And as you lay here
coming undone,
I hope you see
that maybe,
it never was
your burden to carry.

~e.i

“I’m still waters that run terribly deep,
and you my love, don’t know how to swim.”

He smiled his sweet soft smile,
“Cast me a line and I’ll drift by your side,
because the truth is dear love,
I’ve been drowning
ever since I first looked into your loving eyes.”

~e.i

All spring long,
his fingers sowed seeds into my skin.

Under the summer skies,
my body
a field of wildflowers,
singing to the sun.

But the fear in his eyes
gave him away.

And I lay picking petals,
wondering how
and when
this love
came undone.

~e.i

What if,

you lived from the premise that all is in fact well?

That chores will get done
that tummies will be fed,
dogs will be walked,
and bills will get paid,
that all is well.

That there is no need for insecurity.
That you are deeply loved, cherished,
and missed.

And everything you left unsaid
is finally understood.
That anger and grudges will come undone.
Will slip away.
And all is well.

What if you lived from the premise,

That giving in, isn’t the same as giving up.
That you are not your worst moment.
And that instead of falling to the earth,
you decided to let go
and let the earth carry you.
And all is well.

What if you loved from the premise,

That everything takes time,
and time takes everything.

And that you aren’t being asked to be involved.
You’ve been called simply to arrive,
and
to be present.

Because the truth is dear one,
you don’t need much.
Because a whole life
can be lived in one moment.
A whole life can be lived in the space
between
an inhale and an exhale.

So believe me when I say,

All is well dear one.
Right now,
All is well.

i thought being his heart
would finally heal my own broken heart.
but it was in loving him
that my heart kept breaking.
