Night Thoughts

I haven’t spent as much time writing as I should

I miss my empty shell

I love the way the water sounds as it splashes into my cup

I love the way that the water makes waves against the sides

I haven’t been all the places I’m meant to go

I haven’t been held by all the arms meant to hold me

Loving you is a rebirth

Allowing the most profound spaces within me to fully bloom

Once bound as timid buds

Now bursting open & effervescent with life

Sparkling against the rays of the sun

Sitting in the center of it all

More lives I’ve yet to birth

I have not yet finished mothering

My love for you is so endless

That it will be witnessed throughout the generations

I’ve only just started discovering who I am

Now that your love has allowed me to be
