Do not rest assured in the
safety of this love.

We are too brief for this.

Feel the confine of air
pulling through your
lungs -

We are this.

A moment.

Give yourself...full and ready
to the void of expectations.

We were born for this.

Feel the rise of breath
expanding to the fullness
of this love -

We are this.

A moment.

Stretched across forever.

Amazing how time can seem to stand still
when we stretch that moment as far as we
can...Yes, we are, aren't we?

How very true Eric...
We are indeed a soul dancing in a glimpse of time.

OK, Ericc, this one spoke to me...Live in the moment.  This day I think I shall. And not worry about the next moment I have with him.  

Did I get it or did I take off on my own course?  I have been doing that a lot lately.

I am glad you are back...missed ya!

Beautiful Eric.

We are nothing...not even a thought

and still~

your inspiration goes beyond nothingness and embraces the One, with such tender loving expressions

Now this is a breath of fresh air, the best I've read with this theme/truth.
This is a keeper~   I look forward to reading more of your work.

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

Wonderful thoughts.

Do not rest assured in the safety of this love

Yes, this is the key to be aware of how precious a moment can be ..... expanding into forever.

We ARE!

Love your insights very much, Eric.

Love, Margherita

Oh yes, Eric...I relate so much to your
writing. You have got to be "in love". You know, I'm sure, that there is a differnce in "loving" someone and being "in love" with someone. :sweet:

Forever consistent...

and I keep breaking my promises to myself
of waiting for a quiet moment
and a safe place
to melt.

May we always live blissfully in this eternal moment of love, of now; now is all we truly have.

How beautiful, my sweet poet.

I love you,
