Writing & Love

---

Sometimes writing looks like skipping breakfast,
crossing every last thing off the very important list, 
and lighting a candle that smells like vanilla 
and pumpkin, like watching steam rise 
from the mug of turmeric tea, like sketching a tree 
in your notebook with your favorite purple pen. Sometimes 
writing looks like a slow, gentle walk in the forest 
while the leaves fall and fall, dog running ahead—
like standing in the middle of the trail and feeling, 
really feeling, your own hereness—wind in hair, breath 
after breath of sunshine. And sorrow too. Like staring into the gentle 
of doe's brown eyes for so long that you know being here
is the very most important thing, that hereness
is the only thing that belongs on the very important list. Sometimes, 
right here, in the midst of leaves and trees, wind and sunshine,
and sorrow too, these words arrive, and you let them fall 
and fall. Sometimes writing looks so much like love, 
you can’t tell one from the other.
