~ I Carry Your Heart

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in

my heart) i am never without it (anywhere

i go, you go, my dear; and whatever is done

by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear

no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want

no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows

higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

e.e. Cummings

~ Memories

If only there could be an invention that bottled up a memory, like scent. And it never faded, and it never got stale. And then, when one wanted it, the bottle could be uncorked, and it would be like living the moment all over again.”
. . . Daphne de Maurier

There are times when I wish this were true, times when I miss my mom so much and all the memories of her go rushing through my mind all at once. Wouldn't this be nice and then we could just go through each memory, one day at a time. Savoring each memory, each day.
