Little White Umbrella

originally entitled ‘August Prose’

I am a dark secret. You may spend a thousand years knowing me and never know me. I talk in color, breathe in delight, see through rose-colored eyes. I am a charmer. I can speak in silence, leave you without sleep and question your logic all at the same time. I can haunt you for years and it can be exhausting. and difficult. and tormenting. but incredibly you’d rather chase after me.

I inspire without effort… depress without effort. I can be found. and lost. and be found again. I outlive everything. Neither pride nor anger ends me. I withstand distance, time, and human flaw.

There’s nothing human about me.

I make you stupid and wise and numb. I am happiness, misery and everything else in between. I conquer all is just a fancier way to say I am everything.

I am love.
