Every human being
has a universe
within.
A different reality
than the next
one
who is standing
next to them.

You don't believe
in love,
but I will do
everything
I can
so you may believe
in me.

As she studied
callously
at night school
and worked
a minimum wage job,
in her eyes,
you could see
the
wanderlust
that she was blessed
with.
You could see
the places,
the people,
the adventures
and new
experiences
that she craved for.

Her heart was not for the weary.
It's been ******.
Beaten.
Tortured.
There's barely enough oxygen left
to pump out whatever still clings
to her left ventricle.
She is the art of oneself.
And if you're lucky enough,
you may get lost in her, too.

"Baby, you're beautiful-
but do not always lead with that-
also be kind towards
everyone and everything,
be intelligent and inspirational
so that no matter how much
they try not to, thet cannot help
but to love you,"
he said to his daughter.

Of all the places my soul
has ever wandered to,
my love,
you,
by farthest have been
my greatest journey
of them all.
And have I ever felt lost?
Of course,
but that's the beauty
of you.
You're everywhere,
yet you're in one place-
my heart.

As her elderly eyes
noticed
her broken,
she said:
"Child, even the
greatest treasures
are hard to find,
flowers
start from dirt,
stars shine brightest
at night.
Be patient.
It will find you
someway, somehow.
Trust and never
doubt
its power.
