future tense

It's amazing how parts of our mind can get stuck in the past, even as the rest of us continues to change and evolve. Some actions stay at rest on ancient plateaus long past the point when logic has dictated they move on. It is strange, keeping part of yourself a child; but it is so freeing to finally step back from it all and see the truth. Acceptance is a beautiful thing...a far deeper beauty than anything the senses can directly perceive.

Cheesy, but true. At least I don't need quite so many reminders these days.

impossible truth

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
