love poems: part 6

In my poem, For The Women of Project Pride, I write:

If I trust one thing on this scarred and merciful earth, it is this. All love begins with seeing. How I learn to write is how I learn to love. Because to write anything, first / I have to see it. In its wholeness, without resistance. In its detail, without judgment.

Blogger Hello To All said...

My adorable princess in the night
I searched the book of the cosmos for you
And there you were, my brightest star
A detailed flame of purest joy
That coalesced the heavens in extreme awe
The world, you have at your fingertips
And all the worlds and stars beyond
Tell me what you know of them
