I gave birth to this poem this morning, en route to work, while listening to music on my iPod. I dedicate it to those who struggle to find balance, but still work on finding time for, ‘the little stuff’ that makes life, life…the stuff that makes it worth all the sacrifice(s). For those in conflict, I hope you are able to resolve it. For those in love, I hope you nurture it. And for those in hope, don’t ever lose it.~T

Let’s be one…
under the moon
or the sun,
under rainbows
or clouds,
when the tides come in
and the oceans rise,
or when the flower petals
stretch their arms towards the sun.
Let’s be one….
when the leaves change colours,
when the ground starts glistening
as the fall rain washes it,
or when the first snowflakes
touch our noses,
and Jack Frost creates
funny patterns on our windows
in the mornings.
Let’s be one….
when our minds become hazy
from our crazy workday,
when time seems to escape us
and we miss our date night,
when we forget to call
and regret the fact that we
made each other think
we didn’t care enough.
Let’s be one….
in joy or sorrow,
for even the promise of tomorrow
cannot make us escape our moment
of right now,
as we stay in it,
live in it,
breathe in it,
love each other with all of our might,
as we look into each other’s eyes
and realize that
the world will be cruel
and take away from OUR time
but in the end we’ll return
to each other
and choose to remain
together,
as one.
