Because

because I love,
I weep when night falls
causing me to see
less ordinary wonders

than by day,
when the moon
cannot feign it's
inexhaustible light

because I love,
I can write about
the saddest moments-

of the Pleiades
rising in my eyes,
and the faces of my
unborn children

shadows of reeds o'er me
when I'm gone,
who's roots would
embrace me tenderly

as does he now,
not worthy this pain,
indulging the fragrance
that conceals my absence

in spite of
what cannot be spoken
and the broken whirls
of my fingertips

to reach but not touch,
while unknowingly
the saddest moment I write,
because I love

these words just grasp me and won't let me go ... perfection is the only word i can think of to describe this ...

It was a series of amazing circumstances that brought me to write the piece - thank you! :frail:

I read this piece often, Jade, and each time I do it grips me as though it were my first reading. Each time I marvel at the brilliance of your verse (... "the broken whirls / of my fingertips"... god, how do you think of such beautiful phrases?)

Each time I'm taken to a moment in time where the universe became a nexus, and all things were seen in the purity of shared suffering.

This is an intensely beautiful piece, and masterfully crafted poetry at its finest.

Always look on the bright side... there's more light there and it's easier to find stuff.
