Heavens Apart
~
We walk the same way,
Along the same lines.
We sing the same words,
& love the same songs.
~
We breathe the same air,
Holding the same dreams.
We see the same light,
Admire the same stars.
~
We feel the same breeze,
Crossing the same plains.
We pass the same clouds,
Carrying the same wishes.
~
We fear the same pain,
Across the same distance.
We reach the same time,
To find the same depth.
~
We love the same souls,
And share the same dream.
We see the same moon,
Yet miss the same space.

The subsistence of our lives will live on in our words, forever encapsulating our feelings.
Words are the centre point of our existence. If we never write anything down, did we ever really exist at all?
elegy for an unborn daughter
in my dreams, I have a daughter. she has my smile, warm and stretching across her cheeks like it will burst. she has her father’s eyes—soft and gentle—and his laugh. she is perfect. I give her a beautiful name, and she is everything I wish for her to be. she is curious, always asks questions and tries new things and lives without my fear of failure; she is generous, never selfish, but builds firm boundaries; she shows kindness to each soul she meets. I teach her everything my parents taught me. she learns how to read, to escape into a story and to write her own. she learns how to proof a loaf of bread, how to cut butter into flour and dust berries in flour before adding them to batter. she learns how to love, how to be loved. her life is beautiful, free from worry and filled with joy.
