earth 2 you . . .

thanks for being here with me. my world is better because of you. how lucky are we to spend another week in this universe

………….

here’s a poem:

"soil" by Irene P Mathieu

the way you say soil
sounds like soul, as in

after we walked through the woods
my feet were covered in soul 

when it rains
the soul turns to mud

the soul is made of decomposed 
plant and animal matter; 

edaphology is the study of the soul's
influence on living things

while pedology is the study of how
soul is formed, its particular granularity.

you are rooted in a certain red patch
of soul that bled you and your

hundred cousins to life, a slow
warm river you call home.

maybe there is soul under everything,
even when we strike rock first.

the way you say soil you make
a poem out of every speck of dirt.

……….

here’s a thought:

Being in love has reminded me of all the silly things about the world I forgot I loved. And also… things I have never loved before. About the world and myself. One of them is solitude. Being apart from Keeler for the weekend gave me the opportunity to be alone with my thoughts, in my perfect little apartment, and bask in the love and appreciation that he shows me. Love is like a light that never goes out. He makes me feel like my own company is some of the best in the world. He hangs up all the beautiful art in the gallery of my mind. Straightens the crooked frames and cleans up my bad thoughts without ever really having to do or say anything.

Good love feels like never being tired. Like swimming in a dream on a smooth, waveless sea. There is no more ache. The body can hardly remember any pain at all.
