growing

all this is beauty,
all this is agony,
this is transition,
this is the dark and cold night before dawn
and this is the crisp dewed dawn that awakens every beast and being,
this is all possible to get out of,
this is all love,
in every angle,
in every nook,
in every valley,
i love you in the quiet room i love you in the overwhelming city,
i can go anywhere i am free with you and you with me,
will you watch every season will you change with the leaves
will we stay like the rain pounding the dirt and the dirt flowing the rain back to the sky again,
i will etch this scrawled and crooked lanky smile into the fabric that binds us all,
i love you and i love you and
when we sing and sob and dance
i see the lesser known angels in more than just the fog,
we become them and grow beyond the label,
knowing now what rebirth is and yet still having so much to learn,
it is all endless and that is not pain
but a means to living,
