I was browsing through a personal collection of favorite poems, this morning, and came across a poem by Sara Teasdale. When I read it, it felt like Teasdale was describing how I feel, right now, about the person I spend my time with and dearly love with all my heart. I dedicate this poem to my love (James) for all the many ways he lights a fire in my soul. Indeed, I am 'swept by the tempest of (James's) love'.
![]() ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I Am Not Yours by Sara Teasdale I am not yours, not lost in you, Not lost, although I long to be Lost as a candle lit at noon, Lost as a snowflake in the sea. You love me, and I find you still A spirit beautiful and bright, Yet I am I, who long to be Lost as a light is lost in light. Oh plunge me deep in love—put out My senses, leave me deaf and blind, Swept by the tempest of your love, A taper in a rushing wind.

Last year marked the 200th anniversary of this much beloved Christmas poem story… I have loved this poem since I was a young girl.

I’ve always liked certain strands of thought by Kahlil Gibran; especially the poem he wrote about marriage. In many ways, I try to emulate the essence of what he speaks to when cultivating a relationship. In my mind, it’s not just for marriage. This is what I am mindfully thinking about today: The Gibran’s understanding of what it takes to keep a relationship healthy.
