2010

To be nowhere is to fall in-love. To sit silently covered in day break, watching as everything disappears, is to be in-love. To stop counting backwards as the universe unfolds is to understand what love in the moment, love, is. When everything is on me, all over me, around me, I can feel the moment standing underneath of me, watching me hold my love.

I am the morning, the evening, the moon contorting the waves. I am what I promised I would be. I found love within honesty, within trust and promising to be everything I was willing to be. I was able to move across the world and hold onto my own, sit with myself inside my home. I was able to see everything, and share it with my love. I was not remote-controlling the movement of my sea, but allowing it to carry me. With it ever cradling, rocking me, I felt love in my love.

I quit sleeping; I instead find peace in drinking water, in holding hands and in writing letters. I would almost rather listen to my keyboard than a song.

Close call. I create because I can, because I am. I create because I don't need to sleep to fall in-love. I create because I am human, I am no special breed of thing. I am a part of language and a part of my words. I am a piece of a soul that is a piece of a soul that when whole creates, just like me.

Congratulations Andrea.

Sincerely,

Me.
