Falling in Love

I try to find

Things I love

In the world

Like the sky at night

And the way

It feels

When 

I get to sleep

In for another hour

Or the feeling

Of sand

Between my toes

The sun beating

Down on my skin

Or in winter

When I wake up

To a 

Fresh white sheet

Of snow

And feeling flakes

fall on my tongue

And melt off with the smooth burn

Of hot chocolate

Right after

But after all this

I cant find myself

Loving the world.

Never has the phrase, "the little things matter," been so appropriate. I find myself relating to this poem very well, and I can provide many good analogies as to why I feel this way . . .
I adore the small things done in love during a marriage, not marriage in general. Anybody can get married, but its the small things that make the marriage worth keeping.
I find that I love the world alike to that, and even myself. Well done, Kristin, keep it up.

It may be that in years to come an understanding will flood upon you. These things you write of are both common and unique to this time, this place and to you. You may understand that it takes time and things, moments that are not these - that perhaps are the antithesis of these to really appreciate them. This piece seems a clear and honest statement of "now." ...and that's OK. We do not love the world and expect anything in return. We love the world and all it is, both light and dark, because we can... because it is in us to do so.

This is a well written, well, structured piece. Its simplistic and is very descriptive. Excellent job!
