What of the firefly,
the one I love to chase?
The old man smiled
Love her
he said
but leave her wild,
and the old oak tree I love to climb?
Love her, he said, but leave her wild
the bird that sings that song I love?
Love her, he said, but leave her wild
and the wolf that cries to the old joke moon?
Love her, he said, but leave her wild
and the horse that loves to run with storms?
Love her, he said, but leave her wild.
And what of her,
the one I love most?
And the old man smiled.
Yes, he said,
you must love her too
but love her wild
and she’ll love you.

I would rather
have a body full of scars
and a head full of memories
than a life
of regrets
and perfect skin.

"Let Me Kiss The Cracks” by Kayil York
Let me kiss the
cracks in your soul.
I can’t promise
I can make
them go away,
but I can at least try
to ease the pain.

Let’s stop
pretending
to be so perfect
for the world
and get on
with finding out
if we can be
perfect
for each other.

“Imperfection” by Dejan Stojanovic
Trying too hard to be too good,
Even when trying to be bad,
Is too good for the bad
Too bad for the good.
Perfection seems sterile;
It is final, no mystery in it;
It's a product of an assembly line.
To accomplish the perfect perfection,
A little imperfection helps.
xx Atticus
You are worth your imperfections
you are worth your bad days
you are worth your good
you are worth your confusion
you are worth your insecurities
you are worth fighting for
and you are worth loving.
And that’s a fck’ing fact.

"Underneath” by JmStorm
she wasn’t afraid of
my demons and i did
not fear her madness.
we saw beyond those
things that life
does to a person.
and underneath it all
there's a beautiful
soul that just wants
to be loved.

Today, we’re starting off with “When They Met.”
When they met
they were old already,
and so could skip
all the awkward parts of love,
realizing that neither was perfect
and never would be
instead they met as two old souls
worn well from a life of true moments
and together
they lingered
in each other’s last few shadows
soothing scars
from a life well lived.

To me
she is
those final steps
the turn around the last bend
and a little house
with a light on
and a fire lit
with a faint laugh
floating on the warm wind—
she is
my always,
coming home.

"To All of the Lights” by Najwa Zebian
To all of the lights
who chose to dim
when I was in the darkness,
thank you for teaching me
that my own light
is all I need.
