Current favorite quote: "You go your way and I'll go mine...while we miss each other!" - Deborah Kerr as Terry in An Affair to Remember
Picture(s) of the day: I got a haircut just a few days ago...so I used to look like this...
...and now I look like this!

It's not so spectacular since you haven't actually seen how long my hair used to be...but you can gather how different it is from the pictures, of course. :) Feels infinitely better for summer!!

So the other night, I couldn't get to sleep...and finally I picked up my little scripture passage-a-day book. I forget what exactly the passage was, but the words "Abide in Me" stuck out at me...and then this "prosy sort of poem" just came out of my fingers...and I guess my heart too. :)

HEARTS
by me =)
Alone with my failings
Alone in the night
I felt my heart
Beating
The rhythm it pulsed was one of sadness
And it spoke a language of loneliness
Alone with my failings
Alone in the night
I reached with my heart....
Beating.
Beating.
Not one heart, but two.
My heart beat a staccato of fear
The other heart beat a slow beat of love
He held me close
My heart against His
And He waited patiently for my heart
Waited for my heart to beat with His
Simultaneously
Patiently, slowly, gently He whispered
Abide
Abide with Me
Abide in Me
Abide, My love, in Me because
I love you
And as He spoke, I could hear His heart
Beating
Alone with His heart
Alone in His love
I felt my heart
Beating
The rhythm it pulsed was one of weeping
And it spoke a language of openness
Alone with His heart
Alone in His love
I reached with my heart....
Beating.
Beating. (His heart was beating.)
Not two hearts, but one.

You is so pwitty, Lu. :-) No, really. The short hair makes you look simply adorable...though you were loverly with your long hair as well. :-D I'd get mine short, but it wouldn't look good on me. :-P
Love you, dearie!

I love your poem.
Your new haircut looks great! (And so does your blog.) Plus, your poem almost made me get a little choked up. :)
Peace out,
Hannah
Love the new haircut, girl! Last November I went from having hair past my waist to having it barely to my shoulder blades - I just couldn't handle another winter of static!
And I still love the poem, but I already told you that on AP : )
Wow, somehow I missed this poem before! It's really beautiful. Made me feel peaceful and calm. :) You did an amazing job!
Blessings,
~Melody
