I'm back...

I'd expected the month to pass by very quickly. And there it went, my days in the UK are over. All the wintery feel is gone. I really enjoyed the first half of my trip, the 2nd would have been nicer if and only if... While I did see snow fall for the first time.... it was way too short. A mere 2 minutes was all I experienced. But it brought a smile and a thought that perhaps 2 years was way too short as well. I just have to be patient and wait for my snow fall experience again. I know it will come back to me one day. I just have to keep hoping..

As I was unpacking and planning my insurmountable to-do-list, the TV was switched on to fill in the silence (as advised by someone). In Her Shoes was on TV... didn't really catch the show.. but paused as Cameron Diaz's character read out this poem to her sister on her wedding day.

It's simple in delivery. Nothing too profound which is what things should be in reality. Nothing much to figure out too.. Not everything needs to be analysed too critically. It's just unconditional love. If you can feel something special when you read / hear it, you have been blessed.

I carry your heart with me
(I carry it in my heart)
by E. E. Cummings
.
I carry your heart with me
(I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it
(anywhere I go, you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear no fate
(for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world
(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you
.
Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
.
I carry your heart
(I carry it in my heart)

welcome back.

yes, watching snow falling silently can be such a magical experience... if only it was more substantial and longer, it would have been a winter wonderland encounter for you...

anyway, if i remember correctly e.e. cummings would have preferred his two "e." initials and his surname to be in small letters... that's usually how he would have written/sign off at the end of his poems :)

Yeah.. you are right about that. He's kinda odd but I guess that's how he gets his creative flair.

Most of his famous poems are without proper punctuations and are rather unconventional but I guess my EL corrective mode instinct took over. I hope e.e. cummings won't really mind.

Btw, Alan said hi, Mr Lau.

haha...

i think mr cummings wouldn't mind...

it's good to be odd at times...
maybe it's not so much about being odd but more of being unique?

ah so you've finally discovered a little more about kairospix... :)
