Was getting ready for sleep & found this little poem I jotted on my iPhone at some point that I can't remember now. Maybe someday I'll revise it and make it polished; but tonight it was a gentle, kind, tiny discovery.
Sweet dreams!

two things
I always find myself
wanting two things –
to become more of myself
and then to become less,
the way water will
stretch itself beyond
its bounds and then regrets,
pulls itself back.
I love you so hugely
that even this is split in half -
one part wanting you near,
so close that only I know
the patterns of your breath -
but then the want to share you,
to put you to the test,
to let you run like wild
horses all the depths
and deserts of the earth,
to touch everything, to make
it shimmer with beauty and worth.
it shimmer with beauty and worth.
