Sleepless tonight. Thunder crashes and rumbles as the rain patters against my window. On nights like this, I often think of you. Maybe you are awake in this tumultuous storm, too? We stumble through this life so unaware, taking love and living for granted until it becomes something less than extraordinary.

We shield our hearts from all the broken things; promises, dreams, relationships, until it too becomes the very thing that is broken. But alas, a callus heart can mend if only allowed to be free again from the fear that numbs it from feeling. Free to feel the joy, the love, the heartache and pain this life has to offer. To live is to die. Our journey is a cosmic adventure through time and space. To feel alive is to understand that time is short in this body. Be awake. Be aware. Live and love. Experience. Forgive. Forget. Start new. Just be.

To my supposed soulmate, wherever you may be...
It is surely some cosmic error that you are not sitting next to me.
Has Cupid somehow missed a pair? Was there a moment, a fleeting glance, at the grocery that you and I did share? Somewhere along this rickety path of love, we have clumsily missed our connection! The love bus has left the station without the two of us on board, my dear. Wherever you are destined, it will not be where I am.

Oh lovely flower, radiant in thy master's grace.
Who shall love thee in twilight's dark embrace?

The sum of youth is but a fleeting moment.
From inevitable truth there is no escape.
It's flesh and bone in time is soon erased.
To stardust we shall return.

The beauty resides within your soul, my love.
Tucked neatly within the cosmic center.
Between the spaces of a ticking clock.
In chambers time will not dare enter.
