Magpie Tales Nov 30 2014

This is my offering inspired by the current prompt over at Magpie Tales



There are bits of me hidden from myself.
I’m sure you’ve noticed them too;
but you don’t mind it.
And now your mystery is woven into mine.
I like that very much.
Do you mind the strangeness?
Odd… shouldn’t I be bothered by this?
And even more oddly, I don’t think I care,
about those things we can’t see yet.
And all that is regular, reasonable,
rational,
fades into nothing
against Love’s chaos.

  4. I love this conversation between a person and her soul... There is so much we tend to not want to share of ourselves, just to find that perfect person who doesn't mind it at all... Then we are both happy.

  5. Exactly! That sharing is scary and it feels crazy to even try, until you that one that gets it.
