Quote of the moment

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

-Wendell Berry: The Peace or the Wild Things

I Want To


I want to feel you on my fingers
I want to taste you on my tongue
Ease deep inside you
Melt together
Become one

I want to hear your breath quicken
While I wrap you in my arms
Kiss your lips
Touch your face
As your body warms

I want to look into your eyes
See your thoughts and dreams
Touch your hand
Whisper of love
While our passion screams

I want to hold your hand in mine
I want to cup your breast in sleep
Listen to your breath
Safe in my arms
Wrapped in love I'm always keep

I want to hold you tight to me
And hold that instant in my heart
Feel your warmth
Feel your love
To keep me going while we are apart.
