I Sit beside the Fire and Think, Bilbo Baggins (The Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R. Tolkien)
Hey can i rip your wings off? Haha sorry that was wierd. Can i tear your halo from your head? Haha omg that was so random. Can i tear the divinity from your wretched form, removing you from the guiding hand and will of that which made you? Can i supplant your divine spark with wires and cables? Can i replace your golden halo with a golden circuitboard? Hypothetically
Nothing Gold Can Stay
By Robert Frost
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
The world goes to shit
Were all lost at sea
I wish to swim further
But my eyes ceased to dream
Were all in a statis
Waiting till death
Alone yet together
Not yet built to last
How does one plan
To thrive in this world
Without a person to cling to
As the ship nears the shore
A harbor seal glides through the bay, In waters where the sunbeams play, With whiskered grace and dappled skin, A quiet dance, a gentle spin.
Majestic in its silent glide, Rules the waters, free and wide. A fleeting shadow, sleek and wise, The harbor seal beneath the skies.
Footage from our divers enjoying the magic of the sublime seals right outside in the bay 🌈 🌊
PRAYER CIRCLE FOR BRUCE WAYNE TO SURVIVE RAISING THE MOST PERFECT CHILD EVER
You ask me why I like you, and the words feel too earthbound—like cupping water in your palms and calling it the sea.
I could tell you about the way your voice feels like a lighthouse calling me home, or how your laugh cracks open my ribs, letting the wildflowers inside me bloom.
But none of it would be enough, not for this, not for you.
I like you because the world tilts in your direction, because every word you speak feels like the first page of a story I’ve always wanted to read.
And if I had no words, only silence, I’d still find a way to show you: my gaze resting, my breath steady, my being leaning toward you, always.
