Beautiful Spirit

Written by:

All I strived for,
all I bent my knees for,
was all that was too big for me to bring.

Your tender touch,
your honesty lost in another’s translation.
I thought I knew.
I conceived I could
bring you all the world couldn’t, before.

I meant it.
I still do.

To this day,
I begged to keep you here.
You, on this plane
meant everything to me.
Your life still does.

I couldn’t hang my hat
on a bare door,
couldn’t imagine a YOU less place.

It may be trying to make time.
It may be all too much for us, sometimes.

I know.
I know it hurts to try.

When you’re feeling it fall to bitter nothing,
remember my face.
I’m here to stay.

You brought me up this way.

      Thank you, Linda ☺️😊 . Happy to share 😊 I am an back by at v working more again which feels really cathartic. Live had been busy and productive but not as art filled as is like. I’m trying to get more time in. It’s a tough dance. Hope all is well with you. I’ve been really enjoying your blogs again 🙂

        I hear yah, it’s always tough to balance work and other life responsibilities with leisure and our passions. Hopefully you can carve out time for that soon though.

        I agree 💯! It’s needed . At least now my summer work schedule is kind of sorted out so at least I have an idea of how much hours will look 🙂 . That helps for planning to write and other things

        That’s awesome. It’s nice to able to plan out your days better when you know what your work schedule is like. I’m hoping to take some time off later in the summer, which feels like such a long ways away still!

        I know the feeling haha . I hope you get a nice break and find time to enjoy it. I’ve been trying to get out after work as much as I can.

        That’s a lovely goal. I notice such a big difference when I spend some time outdoors.

        I do, too !!! I feel a lot calmer. I went on a trail after work today and I didn’t even get bent out of shape from sweating so much. I was too busy enjoying the birds and animals I saw. For some so reason, the birds are really taking a liking to the trail this year. I have never seen so many different varieties of birds and flowers. This is a really active year for wildlife I guess 😁

        That’s awesome! This is why hiking is my favourite form of exercise. It’s never boring as there’s always so much to see along the trail.

    Here to stay –
    those words always seemed to come at a price.

    Now I need them on terms closer to my own.

    Let’s see what you bring,
    you and me round the campfire.
    Feels like a good night for bartering.

      Remaining
      a bartering game
      for sakes of playing
      Seeing what is brought
      fizzing out a mute tension
      No pretense,
      No imperfection
      Terms closer to the stars,
      We’re closer to becoming
      what was meant to be ours
      Stars flicker
      glowing brighter than dim
      We’re here to stay
      It’s all been written.
