March By Mary Oliver

There isn’t anything in this world but mad love. Not in this world. No tame love, calm love, mild love, no so-so love. And, of course, no reasonable love. Also there are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than loving. But, who wants easier? We dream of love, we moon about, thinking of Romeo and Juliet, or Tristan, or the lost queen rushing away over the Irish sea, all doom and splendor. Today, on the beach, an old man was sitting in the sun. I called out to him, and he turned. His face was like an empty pot. I remember his tall, pale wife; she died long ago. I remember his daughter-in-law. When she died, hard, and too young, he wept in the streets. He picked up pieces of wood, and stones, and anything else that was there, and threw them at the sea. Oh, how he loved his wife. Oh, how he loved young Barbara. I stood in front of him, not expecting any answer yet not wanting to pass without some greeting. But his face had gone back to whatever he was dreaming. Something touched me, lightly, like a knife-blade. I felt I was bleeding, though just a little, a hint. Inside I flared hot, then cold. I thought of you. Whom I love, madly.

Love. It's the One Thing I Want

Hey guys! Just a girl who loves acting and theatre. Halloween 🎃. My name is Sky. I’m also trying to discover what kind of witch I am. |23| Scorpio ♏️ Sun, Aries ♈️Moon, and Leo ♌️Rising. I love British culture, literature, and drama and my British friends make fun of me for it 😂.I love aesthetics of all kinds. My favorite color is Green preferably emerald, hunter and sage green. I love nature picture and all types of photography. I love quotes and writing and fanfiction. |INFP|Star wars + Reyloforever. Fellow Gryffindor. From district 12 like Katniss. I'm a classified divergent. And apparently I give off Yelena and Kate Bishop personality combined from the MCU. Also the love of my life is Bruce Wayne from Gotham(the tv show version so David Mazouz)
