To love, to truly love,
requires the heart of a child.
To let go of your notions,
your adult preconceptions,
all the lies, such beautiful lies;
that embellish the truth,
they bury your youth.
Let them go...
...and learn to play again.
Dance on the feet of another,
smile like no one's watching,
laugh until it hurts,
and hurt until you laugh.
See what joy love brings
once you cease to define it.
The silence of winter has fled from my bones. The pale and splintered skin, the sound of alone. What was death has begun to breathe. I turn my head to the light and I am free.
