The Prompt Museum of Yearning reminds me of a poem that I wrote in 2006, I guess because museums I think of as having something from a little while ago and it's actually about a person who I have at this point been married to for 13 years. But at the time that I wrote it, we were not together yet and wouldn't be for another year or two
Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and to respond. It's so, so appreciated, more than you could possibly know. I am so grateful to be in these spaces waits everyone that I meet, and to have the chance to hear all of your unique voices and perspectives and thoughts and ideals. It's just an amazing, amazing circumstance to be in. And I'm so glad that I made the choice to join this platform. Swell is an amazing place

Maybe also, I don't know, but it says, Love hides in the strangest places. Love hides inside the rainbow. Love hides in molecular structures. Love is the answer. If you haven't checked out Absolutely Live by The Doors, there's a lot of great poetry from Jim included, with musical backing by the band reminded me of that. So I just want to thank you for sharing such a picturesque spot on view of how love weights your poetry, your prose is much appreciated

While sitting in the airport trying to record this between announcements. I just wanted to make sure you knew it was heard from me and appreciated so much. I love how you anthropomorphize love as the yearning entity. It's such a clever, beautiful, soulful way of looking at the power of love as love itself in its own form, wanting us to find it and understand, stand it and bring it into its best space inside of us. It's just beautiful. It's very haunting
And I will definitely check out that album you were talking about by the Doors. I haven't really listened to a lot of their music. I listened to a few things. I don't dislike it. I actually do find some value in it. I just haven't really invested a lot of time in sitting and listening. So I think it's going to do that this week. Check out that album you were talking about. Check out some of the songs and see how it speaks to me
But I really enjoyed sharing it and I'm so grateful for you taking the time to listen and taking the time to actually reply. It's so amazing being here on Swell. I am so enjoying this and it's become a part of my every day that I am just really addicted to at this point. I am always coming on here to check in on conversations and see what's going on and it is just a lovely part of my time now

Love weights and we so often miss it, settling instead for something less. This is a beautiful poem, once again presented in your amazing fashion. Really loved it. Thank you for inviting me
Love weights and we so often miss it. I completely agree with that sentiment and thank you so much for sharing. I really appreciate when I am able to bring my poetry here and so many different diverse and interesting perspectives are presented to me on these posts. It's just amazing to hear all of you and to share with all of you and to know that I am able to connect with so many kindred. It's been a beautiful experience. So thank you so much for participating

The power of the weather, the elements and the connection between all the duality in the weather in terms of how we interact with our environment within ourselves, and this kind of pull of something that is patient and knowing. It was almost like I could imagine a very regal lioness sitting perusing all the kind of craziness in the plains, knowing that someday her pride might return to her guidance and protection
So, yes, I do put a lot of weather and seasonal imagery into my pieces and a lot of earth energy into my pieces, themes about rock and tree and stream and river, because I feel like that natural imagery, that natural type of energy I feel like is in me. And I feel like it brings something more out into my work. So I do include a lot of that and I appreciate you for seeing that. I appreciate you for seeing me

Good morning, pixie. Poet. It's Stephen. And I don't even know what to say about this one because it's so beautiful and haunting. I could point out some of my favorite lines, but it would be I'd have to reread the entire thing. I just wanted to let you know this is top shelf. kudos for writing this. The one line that really will stick with me is about time stealing soulmates. So thank you for sharing this one
Good morning, Stephen. You said plenty. You said everything. I appreciate you immensely for taking the time to listen and most of all for showing me the kindness of replying and sharing how you felt about the Pace. I appreciate that more than you can know. It is such an amazing thing to have that type of feedback and be able to share my words and my thoughts with others and have kindred to understand where I'm coming from and to want to actually communicate about my thought processes
