Love Sentence
Posted June 26th, 2006 by Nathan DeGraaf
I spilled my insides all over the floor of your house and you cleaned them up without so much as a shout, and I couldn't understand your beautiful master plan until the day after I took your hand in mine and said you'll be mine for all time and then I knew, it was all to clear, that your world only exists here on this everyday plane, where all's okay if it looks okay and status is having nothing to blame on anyone or anything when really baby, I want you to sing and be free and take your mind far away from here and me and how we pay the bills or live our life, for a rich life lived in strife is still lived in strife and I cannot be married to a strife ridden wife, so fine if that's how you gotta be, you can have the big house and the damn TV and you can keep living on in your boring comfort zone, happy and healthy in a place you call home, but I gotta move on and chase each new dawn and see if there's something deep and beyond this life we live in shuddering grace and maybe even kiss the face of freedom as I ride on through His Kingdom hoping just to find all that was left behind in the collective spirit of all that can be and is?so go ahead, keep the damn kids.

My favorite thing you've ever written. No joke.
i'm with lulu on this one...i really really like it.
For some odd reason that reminds me of Howl. Good stuff, you should throw a few more of these out if at all possible. I think they could become more popular than the snippets. Speaking of which hows that book coming Nate?
writing a song?
Thanks Lulu, Rory and Elise.
Howl? That was that Ginsberg piece, right?
Rory, the book is coming along fine. It just keeps growing and growing. I have paused it for a while because I am moving and have a lot to do, but that doesn't stop it from growing in my head. Physically, it's at about 180 pages right now. There are five or six more pieces I need to get in there. It should be done soon.
wow. long sentence.
