I’ve no inclination for writing a story, not today.

The day feels more like scattered feelings.

Everything is moving in the gray mist,

with hopeful shadows of green love,

escaping—

Fast as a locomotive that I want to be on,

dreaming,

going forward…

Into the moment where the world opens her arms to me,

like a mother-angel, or a lover,

covering all doubt in the glorious abundance of receiving.

Good!

I can shout aloud in that moment up to the heavens,

stay!

It will be a covenant and I shall abide by all of the rules of peaceful satisfaction.

***

For there is no place I want to be,

neither in a home, or on a mountain,

viewing a beautiful painting or emerged in a book,

at sea with blue perfection, above the sky and moon,

not in the wind or a memory…

or world

without love and you.

***

When love is no longer a promise but a given,

I can see to the end of time,

to know there is in fact none,

every beautiful glimmer of life, revolving.

Resolve it—

Even pain becomes magic you can hold onto and nurture,

or set free to give to new birth.

It is my power to sense,

and feel all of these things,

and

to stay or go…

I choose neither,

  without you.

***

If there is one gift I could

implant into your heart,

it would be trust—

What I need most.

And the only way is unwavering.

***

I am free from all fear

when understood:

All I have

is love

and everything is

an empire

built

on love
