The Reason

You're the reason

I wait by the phone

Just to hear your voice

That majestic tone,

You're the reason

I can't close my eyes some nights

The thoughts of you

Your love, your laughter

Keep spiraling in my mind,

You're the reason

I wake at dawn

With such a smile

It's just something that you spawn,

You're the reason

For my life

My inspiration

My spirit of light.

It is such a gift to know your reason for being here. I think that often as we get older and hurt we forget that it is not a bad thing to give yourself completely to anouther. That is what this sounds like or at least the beginning of unconditional love...
I loving write.

How wonderful it is to have a reason to wake up.

Yes, it truly is...for a long, long time I didn't feel that way. And I still have some days like that when my depression takes control. So it's a roller coaster ride.
Riding the waves of Bi-polar = no fun!!!!

Love has a way of awakening the soul and giving one purpose...this poem is a nice tribute to this notion. I wish you the best in love and hope that it is always returned.
happy holidays :)
