Reminds me of a psalm in the Bible - “In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭102‬:‭25‬ ‭and this one too In Jeremiah 1:5 God says, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I sanctified you; and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.

Found it comforting. Thank you ❤️

This was such a beautiful poem and has me ready to meet the love of my life right neoooow! lol thank you for sharing!

Hmm I would describe my love as a warm feeling that lingers in your soul and lights up the darkest parts of you. It really creeps in when you least expected it and when you need it the most❤️

I love your description and the love of your life is already lucky they just don’t know it yet 😌

"In any world or any universe

any iteration of my being

I know I will find you there loving me

because I deserve love and

there is no greater love

than the one that whispers to you

in the language of water and ultraviolet rays."

I'm holding onto this! Feeling inspired to write a microfic from it. 🥰

"Let me tell you all the ways that I have loved you.

In another life, you were the sound of running water

I was the ears of a brown bear.

I craved the sound because I knew you were life sustenance

a solution to a parched throat, empty belly, and filthy fur"

Dawg, how do you come up with this stuff?! This is so fucking beautiful! @Nj

Love this! I was particularly struck right off the bat with the opening two lines, something about the juxtaposition between running water and bear ears pleased me. Oh, and, thanks you so much for the very kind shout out!!! :)

"In one of many lives, you were a mirror

reflecting my face and body back to me." - definitely my favorite! *snap snap*
