NOW

I'm not going to wait

until my final sunset

via

 grants me one last 

desperate reach 

towards 

you.

via

 Nor will I wait until 

your embrace

via

is but



an intangible keepsake

in my lonely 

fluttering heart.

via

Because  

the other day

I noticed amongst 

the movement 

the noise 

and the treacherous attempt

to move the armoire

down the narrow staircase

and 

when you offered to 

help me paint my studio

to get it to look 

just right

via

 

via

via

you were doing it all 

for 

me.

Because you know 

that

 

You make things allllright.

You make rainy days 
 
sing

via

 
and the silly little boy 

in you

via

 

makes the silly

little girl 

in me

via

laugh 

and dance.

tumbler

I'm not going to wait. 

I am showing you 

how special you are

NOW.

Because

Where you choose to 

DWELL

to make 

your hearth

via

and home

via

 

is all a matter of

choice.

via

via

via

via

via

via

What

 you choose to 

let your 

heart

LINGER UPON

in thought or speech

is also a 

decision

that can place

the 

fleeting shadows of night

via

 
in right

perspective against 

the steadfast shimmer

of light.

via

via

BELOVED

do not be 

overwrought with 

the silhouette 

of 

obscurity

via

 

but be 

overwhelmed

with the

via

 

and 

BREATH-GIVING BEAUTY

of

life.
