You called me, your “Moon,”
and enjoyed every bit of moonlight...
But the moment you saw the “Sunshine,”
you ran behind it while the “Moon” continued to wait,
even after losing its identity..!
It's the sunlight that overshined the moon, but the moon never lost its presence!
"Sanskrit has 96 words for love; ancient Persian has 80, Greek three, and English only one. This is indicative of the poverty of awareness or emphasis that we give to that tremendously important realm of feeling. Eskimos have 30 words for snow, because it is a life-and-death matter to them to have exact information about the element they live with so intimately. If we had a vocabulary of 30 words for love ... we would immediately be richer and more intelligent in this human element so close to our heart. An Eskimo probably would die of clumsiness if he had only one word for snow; we are close to dying of loneliness because we have only one word for love. Of all the Western languages, English may be the most lacking when it comes to feeling." - Robert Johnson, "The Fisher
King and the Handless Maiden"
I wish I had 96 words to describe how much I love this

They told me that this world is ending soon
That it is too polluted, too violent for life

So in the quiet dark my lover and I created;
I spun the work of God within my womb
Tiny bones, silken hair, eyes to see the truth

I fought through the barrier of here and there
Brought him down to us with defiant hope

“Aren’t you afraid?” they ask with mouths full of fear
Don’t they know, it has always been
that every beloved thing can leave?

if it were up to me
we would meet at the edge
of the earth and the sea
in the space between
dreams and reality
and that's where we'd stay
for eternity

Going to
therapy
taking pills talking
talking to people
sleeping
enough
rough thoughts
in my head

Breast heavy
flow interrupted
step by
step
got it?
I am doing what I can to get out of it... people tell me it takes time. I am impatient simply because I want t feel better.

I know you feel the pain in your chest. It’s time to let go and forgive yourself. Say I love you and I’m worth it and be on your way. Things are coming for you I promise. A different adventure and the happiness you’ve been looking for. I know you didn’t wanna leave but you had to. You were tired of being tired you were tired of being angry. You were mad at yourself and took it out on someone else. You packed your things and left when no one was looking saying goodbye to someone you once loved. You never actually said the words face to face. I know you lay there on those late nights and think about what he felt. Seeing all your things gone like you weren’t there. The smell of you on the pillow cases in his head as he lays there thinking about what he did wrong. But you couldn’t look him in the eyes and say you didn’t love him. You didn’t want to see the heart you once love shatter. I’ve held the most loving man in my arms and had to let him go because I knew we weren’t meant to be but you know it’s for the best because life a little better now. I’ve felt happiness and seen the world through different eyes.
Getting near that time
Where minds begin
To wander
Stores are closed
Lights are dimming
Noises settle down
Words come flowing
Making sense or not
From a day
That " s drawing to
A close
Factories shut down
But words keep dancing
Round and round
Eyes blink yet
Never close
Sleep too far away
Nothing else to do
To chase those
Thoughts away

Copied and pasted, I didn’t write this.

Alas they've come for Dr. SEUSS, they wish to hang him with a noose. They claim his tales were racist bent, they judged him fast, missed what he meant.  
But if we look inside his tales, you'll find the balance of the scales.  Remember when Horton heard a Who, and we heard the wisdom of the Lorax too.  The lesson behind Green Eggs and Ham,  that changed the mind of Sam I am.  Remember too the rotten Grinch, who once would never give an inch. He taught us lessons, one and all, boys and girls, big and small.  
So if you've judged his works as poor, you should re-read them, I implore.  The man we know as Dr. SEUSS, turned our imaginations loose.  His impact was beyond compare, he taught us it was good to care.  To accept the red, the blue, the green, and on each other we can lean.  
So if you still won't give an inch, your heart has hardened like the Grinch.  Release the grudge, the hate, the rue, and embrace the hope of Cindy Lou.
