Happily ever after
Is created
Day by day
Choice by choice
In the living of
life
As individuals
As couples
Cynical
Scorned
Broken hearted
Forgetting the
power of LOVE
The happiness
possible
We disconnect
From the Magic
Of a life shared
Being loved
Loving another
Bearing witness
To the purely human
moments
And still choosing
to LOVE
Giving each other
the “human” hall pass
Not expecting
perfection
Rather delighting
in the Real
Allowing the
fallibility
When love is not
patient
When love is not
kind
When love is
jealous
When love is
selfish
When love is rude
When love keeps
score
When love is buried
by pain
When love is UGLY
Laughing at our
Self
Asking for Do-overs
Finding the humor
in the crazy
Transforming the
heaviness into LIGHT
Standing side by
side
Holding
Cherishing
Nurturing
Letting go
Again and again and
again
Over and over and
over
Choosing to LOVE
BIG
Walking our paths
Knowing someone has
our back
Infusing us with
strength
Igniting the power
of LOVE
When the weight of
the world
Threatens to take
us OUT
Bending us
Breaking us
Exhausting us
Stressing us
Calling Bullshit!
Picking each other
UP
Reminding the other
they are 10 feet tall
Daring to speak our
personal truths
Expressing all we
are FEELing
Releasing our
desire to fix & control
Listening with all
our heart
Allowing the other
to be where they are
Trusting our LOVE
is the gift
Cultivating intimacy
Being vulnerable
Sharing our fears
Willing to GO THERE
Where we have never
gone before
Where we never
wanted to go
Where we didn’t
know we could go
With another human
being
Celebrating our
victories
Making space for
tears
Staying OPEN
Not boxing our LOVE
in
With ideas of happy
With concepts of
marriage
With diluted fantasies
of partnership
Buying into a fixed
story
Creating our own
GREAT love story
That mirrors our
unique journey
Because we choose
to LOVE
To ride the waves
of this Energy
That frees us
And flows through
us
No matter what life
brings
Because we want
HAPPILY ever after
Which includes
MIShappily
Which isn’t
possible
When we pretend
When we live in
falseness
When we deny truth
And
Fail to see the
Beauty
In it ALL
And through the
eyes of LOVE
We can see
It is ALL GOOD
And this knowing
Creates
HAPPILY ever after.
