a serene kind of knowing


I read this in a book I bought for you last weekend:

I want to die from longing, and never
live in boredom. I want there to be,

a hunger for love and beauty.

that those who are satisfied are the most

I have also heard the sighs of those 
who are full of desire and longing
and have found in them a gentleness 
sweeter than the sweetest melody.


I heard you sigh, 
inspiring
