A Word Bathing in Moonlight
You understand solitude,
the function of water,
how stones breathe
and the unbearable weight
of love. Give up, the voice says.
Trust only yourself.
Wrapped in light, you
turn outward. Burst forth.

Gorgeous reading & music …
To love oneself enough to buoy the weight of loving another while moving along your own path … even if away from the other??
