Living in the Dark, Bathing in the Light

The old man and the little boy

The old man and the little boy

Oct 28, 2020

"What is it like to be with no love?" said the little boy.

The old man responded, 

"it is to wake in the night and find no one beside you, so you must be the one to sing yourself to sleep.

it is to open our eyes in the day and see no color, so you must be the one to see the beauty in nature

it is to see the dawn and think 'who will I share this with?' so you must be the one willing to love yourself

it is to face the dusk and hope to find love, so you must be the one to find love and not let go"

Then the little boy asked, "But what if she doesn't want to be found?"

"Then you must wait for love to find you," the old man said.

I think this may be one of my favorite poems.

Please be nice in the comments. And if you don't like, why are you spending your time being hateful? Have you heard of empathy?!? Go find a new cup of tea! Kill 'em with kindness, y'all.

Thank you!!

Each episode is a poem.
About life, death, love, winter, and straight up randomly stuff.
Each poem is unique and different, so you get something a little different every time. Sometimes they are poems, sometimes they aren't.

And take your time reading the poems, these should be enjoyed.

I hope you enjoy them!!
