and sooner or later, maybe I've realized
the best things in life
truly do
fall for free;
and the things that I've touched
have rotted to the surface,
and I've discovered
Life's Dream:
to be carefree and gentle and loving and wise and
not to rely on those who are kind
because
even a saint's breath can disturb you;
and even an angel loses wings.
and
someday these posts won't be here
to hold you
forever-loves-breathing-and-fighting-and-kneeling-and-
screaming-to-believe-all-the-healing --
(we don't understand what causes love).
Reason for writing:
Life in general, and the understanding that you can't always even rely on those who are closest to you because they, like you, are human and will fail. I have come to realize that God is the only one who will always be there through everything...and we will never understand the nature of His love.
