Endless Love
It's one of those days when I've stumbled willingly into the sea that is my life. I swear I didn't see that memory as I tripped on it. I swim in the encompassing warmth, needing neither air nor light. I'm glad I learned how to sink wilfully at an early age. I am struck by the infinitely long, glowing tendril that waves in the ocean of my existence. Salty, murky waters, and yet its sinews shine resolutely. Each filament of its ethereal body is more precious than a full hand of flesh chanced on a butcher's block. That strand was born of an innocence devoid of armour or pretence. I call that love. We talked, we felt, we believed in possibility. The fragile shoot was conceived in a moment of honesty and chance, where everything seemed possible and nothing was enough. That it has survived silence and separation is proof that it had more meaning than I knew it to be capable of. I call that love. I wonder how deep it runs... This chasm of secret ocean is mine.
