Gabriela, you are not the wind,

You are the joined atoms of casualty,

The dust of ancient stars,

The first breathe of life.

You are a magnificent creature,

You are the moments you stole from the people you’ve loved

You are the stories of humanity

Joined into one.

You are the impossible love of an impossible love

And that very high mountain that

Still stands tall in a very old town.

You are the salt of the sea

And you are that speck of light

That breaks darkness into two.

This is sort of an old poem and I’ve uploaded it here and there on the webs. This is my first time officially uploading it to my blog. It still means the world to me, and it will be the first poem in the chapbook I plan to self-publish.
