I shall be remembered not by success and accomplishment
but by the kidness I gave to others.
I shall be recalled by my brightest laugh,
  the dimples of my cheeks
As a steady shoulder to my friends,
  an open ear to their stories.

But first things first
If you can do it, I too
can live.

Not sure where I was going with this but I was thinking about how poor my sad proposal went to my now wife. My car was smoking and I practically threw the ring at her when she answered the door.
You punched above your league
You knew it
She didn’t
She believed in your superiority
Only because she had a hard time
Seeing
Herself
For her true worth
She only saw
What she was made to believe
By a society
That cannot recognize
Leagues

A billion stars lay twinkling above me in the dark void of the night.

I searched for eternity
There are no answers here

Heard every excuse in the book
When I let go I leave the door ajar but never expect anything or anyone
I just don't expect
I accept
Easier to say than learn
So much for listening.
Hugging or putting a band-aid on what hurts
Sometimes you can't fix it
Sometimes you can be too good so you need to be better than that and stay clear until you know you are needed and wanted

Just for a moment
I could breathe.
For a moment
I thought I had it all.
That moment taught me that anything is possible.
But also that everything is always changing
Morphing
Renewing
Everything is temporary.
Even love …

Random bird outside
Amidst the chatter
Sings a glorious song
No other bird
Could’ve sung along
