| glittering with desire |

The older I get, the more my heart reveals its deepest desires.  

Lately I've been shown such desires through people.  

It starts with someone who gently holds my heart.  Have you ever been so lost with a person that the rest of the world seems to melt away?  His presence is a song only I can hear; its melody overflowing with bliss and serenity.  There's nothing quite like the indescribable notion that your souls are made of the same fiber.        

It continues by way of a gracefully aged spirit, whose unconditional love radiates like the sun.  Her wisdom and well-deserved understanding of life present a rare gift.  Any moment spent with her reminds me that love is the most profound blessing, that family binds our fragile hearts together and that at the end of the road you will only remember the way people made you feel.

It weaves through two kindred spirits, whom are a testament to the purest devotion.  I can still see the spark in their eyes that continues to shed hope on this seemingly broken world.  They generate the most imperfectly wonderful essence; an essence that makes everything good again.

Desires of the heart are genuinely unshakeable.  

They are what make us human and make us beautiful.
