My soul in crushing under the weight of the unrequited love I feel for hope.
“You don’t know what a wild, crazy longing I have, what an ache there is inside me.”
Henry Miller, from a letter to Anaïs Nin, featured in A Literate Passion: Letters of Anaïs Nin & Henry Miller, 1932-1953
I just want to disappear
into this universe.
Be the sun and the sand,
the wind and the water
moving aimlessly.
I want to be the dance
between the earth, the sky
and the waves.
Be the energy that holds
everything in its place.
And then I just want to appear
as a tiny human being
and open my eyes
and open my heart
to see myself.
