Learning

I am learning
Learning to let go while loving her
Life is full for each of us
Love is full for each of us

I may not always be the first
Or even the second or the third
In a list that demands attention
But I am on the list just the same

Sometimes my ego tries
It tries to run the show, trips me up
Then I feel wounded
But my beloved is not the source

So I am learning
Learning where the hurt comes from
Learning her deep love both near and far
Learning to let go and love

My hurts are not of her making
They come from inside me
An ego run amok
A list of my own insecurities

Our lives so full love comes in
She makes room for me
I make room for her
We occupy space in the other's heart now

I am learning
Learning to love
Without demand without fear
Letting go love becomes full

  1. My Beloved Kalei,
    Swiftly... Unstoppable... the river runs to the mighty sea...
    Crashing white peaked waves of passionate joy greet me.... The sands of time are washed away.... I am with my Beloved again.... I long to swim in the ocean with her.... To feel her warm body pressed against mine.... legs wrapped around me... Slipping and sliding in the living waters of our Mother Earth ... Let us return to the womb.... Were we twins long ago? Your presence so familiar.... I am merely "catching up " with you.... Tell me of your struggles and victories... That I may share in your pains and joys... A loving hand to hold and shoulder to lean into. So deeply loved.... so deeply loving... Sweet sister to my heart... I am at home with you... mi amor,
    te quiero, te amo, te amo, te amo.....
