Love is not finding someone without flaw.

Everyone is flawed. Its human nature.

Love is knowing your someones flaw and choosing to accept it.

Because living with the flaw is intrinsically better than living without that person.

This is life.

This is love.

Yawn
            Stretch
Breath
          Doze

Only the sleeping infants know
...of it's hidden magic

The peace in it's stillness

Light in the dark

Truth in their dreams

Strength in their heart

They accept it's unfolding
Powerful in their powerlessness

Showing us The Way
As we show them ours

Star in the sky, winking at me. Tell me your story. Will that set me free?
Why am I still searching? Will I ever know? Someone must tell me so I may go.

Question no answer. Lost in the dark. Floundering about, leaving no mark.
How can  I fix this? What should I do? Who am I and how do I find you?

People meander, like fish in a bowl. Swimming and swimming with no end goal.
Yet they keep going, unfazed by the pain. I can’t understand what is to gain?

Where am I going? What will I do? Should I keep swimming and floundering too?
I hoped for much more but perhaps this is it,  accept what you have, own your own ****.

All  I can do is sigh with bemusement. I can’t move forward. My mind simply refuses.
There is  no round up to this poem/story/rant.  I want to be myself but it seems I just can’t.

I want to know me, be true and be good. But all I seem to do is  dream about “could”.
Another sigh for good measure, thrown out into space, at least I’ve written something, saved some face.

From a wish
To the wings
Of a breath

To a candles flicker and
Flame's sudden death

Travelling smoke trails
As it dissipates
Into the ether
In good faith

And the wisher
Filled with hope,
Waits

New, exciting, warm,
Gently intoxicating.

Passionate, strong,
All encompassing.

But on a backdrop of unbridled,unrestricted independence.

Fresh and familar
Like a warm breeze on a spring morning.
Sweet birdsong soft in the air,
The echoing of past hopes
Floating their way to the horizon of a dawning adventure just about to begin.

Life forever comes in waves,
Of love, of sorrow, of joy, of pain

Seize each experience,
Live it, it's real
Dive in and explore,
Feel what you'll feel

For all won't be pleasant
Nor will it be clear
But life's not to be lived in bliss
Or in fear

It's here to be tasted,
Touched and caressed,
Each moment embraced
Each lesson professed

You are alive,
How lucky you are!
Immerse yourself completely,
You're your own guiding star.

And if you can do this,
If you are true
The waves of your life
Will lead you to You
