Love Directions
Sometimes
You have to love
Exactly
Where
The dirt is,
Kiss
The swollen spider bite,
Hug
Almost forever
Stones
Big as your bed,
Quiet at night
Walk on the scar's
Drifting balance beam,
Before old curtains
Tired of hanging
Fall,
Pulling down ghosts,
Showing
Truth
And dare
And pure sky
Writing
Love
In it.Mp3 here.

hmm. interesting.
i love the idea of a love that is the dirt w/you! i might borrow that concept sometime soon... if you don't mind!
What an amazing piece of writing. It's so true.. I think it shows that love is not just all happy and shiny, and there is another side, but it all must be appreciated.
Ooo, I like it!
very lovely...
Wonderful!
"sometimes you have to love exactly where the dirt is..." where the roots grow? it's easy to love the beauty of the leaves, blossoms, or fruit. it's easy to love the shade the branches and leaves offer. but to love the roots, where the dirt and worms are, where it's almost hidden; that's hard. yet it's the most important part, because that's where it all begins; where the leaves, blossoms, fruits, and shade give birth from.
I wondered if I'd ever find you again.
