In me there is a yearning ever flowing
That needs to reach an end that never comes.
I cannot be myself without you with me.
This is a truth no wisdom ever plumbs.
You laugh, and say that I'm your personal angel,
And this is what I want so much to be.
The beauty of my life is like a passion
That blows right through the person that you see.
| I want you to know one thing. You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, if little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little. If suddenly you forget me do not look for me, for I shall already have forgotten you. If you think it long and mad, the wind of banners that passes through my life, and you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots, remember that on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms and my roots will set off to seek another land. But if each day, each hour, you feel that you are destined for me with implacable sweetness, if each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me, ah my love, ah my own, in me all that fire is repeated, in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, my love feeds on your love, beloved, and as long as you live it will be in your arms without leaving mine. |
I miss your voice
which always spoke so softly in my ear
letting me know you cared about my day.
I miss your laughter
so quick and unbridled.
It warmed the center of my heart.
I miss your thoughts
that were freely shared
at the end of our day.
I miss your hugs
Always so warm. Where
I felt secure and safe
for awhile….
Your name comes to my mind bringing
Visions of yellow roses and white vases.
Long talks on the phone.
Walks hand in hand.
A friendship I thought would never end.
A love that I believed would never die.
Yet here I stand
Years later
When the healing is done
and yet
I miss you
The pages here reflect
The many changes my
Life has brought to me
In the past two years. The pain
Is gone, thanks to the love
And care of the people
Finds itself reaching out to
The echoes of sorrow, just
Remember that love and happiness
Are close by. Let it embrace
You and you'll soon find that
Your heart will sing again.
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.
