Everything is all I have to give you, and I'm afraid it ain't enough

The Uses of Sorrow - Mary Oliver
(In my sleep I dreamed this poem)

Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness

It took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift.



She got me high and I hardly noticed
there were tears in her eyes


I wrote something about dancing... not quite the vibes I wanted to give this post though... perhaps another time.
