You: A Love Letter
You.
Do you know how beautiful you are?
Do you have any idea about the corner of the world that get’s held up because of your existence?
Do you know about the brightness that is held in your every breath?
Do you know what magnificence is concealed in your story?
Do you know that Love wrote a letter in your bones on the day you were born,
and that every moment of your life is about revealing that letter?
Do you have any idea about the preciousness of your every motion?
and the gifts you bestow on us when you
trip and fall?
Your wins are for you, but what you GIVE from your failings,
you will never know.
A light exists in you that is ancient and breathless,
and beyond every nuance of your mind.
Yes, it shines when you smile —
but it burns white-hot brilliance when you cry,
because that is when you OPEN.
That is when you bloom like the full phase of the moon.
You are all this luminosity,
and more.
You are what wakes the tiger,
and puts the bear to sleep.
You are that raging internal curiosity that creates worlds within worlds, within worlds.
You are the undoing of those worlds.
The unravelling of an old tale,
like a grandmothers sweater
worn thin.
You break through the barriers,
and find the sun.
You are my heart,
and my hope,
and my truth that can’t be taken.
You change the game.
You re-write the rules.
You set the world on fire,
and then you wash it all clean.
You show up.
Again and again, and again, and again.
You astound me
in your forgetting, and remembering.
You plant the seeds,
and bring the soil.
What I really want to say…
is how you move me.
And this moving is a sharing
that rocks this wicked world.
this beautiful world, that we like to call wicked,
because we’ve forgotten that it is only Us
in disguise.
What I really want to say,
is that you
knock my socks off.
and that I smile for the day that we all stop pretending
we don’t know eachother,
and love eachother,
and meet in the middle with a warm embrace —
laughing with abandon over the wild and woolen wonder
of this fastly fading
dream.
I love this entire piece so much beautiful Sunni.
“You change the game.
You re-write the rules.
You set the world on fire,
and then you wash it all clean.”
We wash it clean with our tears and our laughter and our fierce embraces.
We wash it clean with our dreams and passions and our whispered secrets.
Thank you darling for this post today <3

thank YOU Amanda!! Thank you for sharing this with me, and then going off and sharing it elsewhere too! I am so ecstaticly happy to have found you, who loves poetry too, as much as I love it – what a joy and a gift!! I notice a lot of people aren’t that into it, and I just can’t believe that, cause I’m like GA-GA over it, always have been. So it’s EXTRA delicious to share that love with you! Thanks for sharing and resonating and “seeing” and “feeling” – love you soul sistah! xo

Thank you Minna, I SO appreciate your being here and resonating with these words and sharing your response to them! It is wonderful to try to play with words to point to that sweet wordlessness that we know, and I love knowing when that actually happens and puts that person in touch with that presence, just beautiful! xo
