“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.”

― Mary Oliver


here, you should
sit in this car with me
at twilight and listen
to the moon tapping
at the wind

here, you switch the song
with your severe honesty
from Winston's Tamarack Pines
to his Last Lullaby Here

and for once, I feel
this heavy weight of dreams
pressing further
with the moon's light,
as the trees shiver.

you tell me to sleep
because I am so tired
but the music's wild
vitality weaves through
these trees, keeping us both
awake and just happy
to be alive

Man, good friends like this are hard and sometimes impossible to find. This touched me, it really did - you've got an amazing gift

“When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it is over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.”

This is beautiful Haley :) Really, really beautiful,,!One of my favourite, really.
