You have seen the shape of my mortality

The inescapable struggle of loneliness and pain

Yet, you choose to give me the gift of life and love

And I am unflinchingly alive

Irrepressibly alive

Fully alive

Full of experiencing

Every fragile

Miraculous

Juicy

Aching

Tender

Beautiful ounce of love

Igniting the fire that burns against the midnight of my indifference
