Life stands still when your name is spoken,
Though the ocean runs deep to a dark bottomless end
Yet still my love surpasses its profundity in weight
This “kind” has to come with a price
A price that surely cannot be compensated with trivial earthly exchange
This “kind” provokes rage and humbleness
Trials and triumphs
Insecurities and assurance
It cannot be bound by the mountains and valleys of everyday circumstance
And will not bow down to the ordinary
Oh, the wretch it has made me at times
Yet the fiery ocean tides have washed away the impurities of mistrust and conflict
And refined me into a more polished and elated soul
The journey has been long but worth it all
Joy has taken over the happy which needed something to “happen” to exist
The joy is here no matter how the season may transform
Joy can travel to the pits of hell to retrieve my love
And redeem its weight without time passing by
It can reach down to the inner most parts of the earth where my human eyes are constraint
And convey the assurance of my commitment to my love in places where there is doubt
This “kind” is worth it………
