Lightly Child, Lightly.

~ Live & Learn

If we are separated I will
try to wait for you
on your side of things

your side of the wall and the water
and of the light moving at its own speed
even on leaves that we have seen
I will wait on one side

while a side is there

— W.S. Merwin, “Travelling Together”  from The Rain in the Trees

  3. Magic indeed…and how blessed that there are so many people I thought of with love when I read this. Not sure I can explain it any better than that – but to be able to feel that longing and promise and to-your-toes love – I am the lucky one.
