For my 2016 writing project, I’ve decided to write a single line of poetry every day for an entire year. Below, is February’s poem. Enjoy!

Love is no longer a fleeting feeling.

It is here and it is real.

Love required the patience of cosmos beginning to form.

It demanded an evolution of who I am.

 

Love was worth waiting for.

You were worth the time it took to find something real.

Love was like an invitation from a long-lost friend.

One day it quietly arrived in the mail.

To my surprise, it was addressed to me.

 

Love is standing before me.

It shall not waiver.

It shall not falter.

I shall do my best to be worthy of your gifts.

 

I am worthy.

I am worthy of love.

We all are.

We are all worthy of love.

 

We all deserve someone who takes our breath away.

I count myself lucky to have stumbled across such a person.

I find myself struggling to still catch my breath.

It is going to be this way for a long time.

 

I hope true love shall visit your door.

This life is meant to be shared.

The joy you will encounter is too much for one person.

So too is the pain.

 

Find love in all that you do.

Give it everywhere you go.

Allow it to be the freest of gifts.

Love for your soul. 

 

Be good to each other, 

-Nathan
