Visualization: One Year Future Perfect Dream

Back in March of 2014 I was part of a women's support group entitled "Single and Searching".  The focus of the group was dating, and although I wasn't interested in dating when I went in, I joined because I wanted some clarity on whether I should be dating or not.  I suppose it was an attempt to absolve guilt.  

Anyway, one of our assignments was to write our vision of a happy relationship.  I happened across the journal tonight in which I wrote on it, so I thought it would be fun to share it here.  Super shocking, I know, but I wrote it in poem form.

The quiet

Is the quiet of a busy house

Full of children

And laughter

And love

The quiet 

That is beautiful

In its rarity

And so fleeting

It's impossible

To miss

The smells

Of childhood

Playdoh

Crayons

And wooden blocks

Of adolescent boys

Of a fragrant 

Young flower of a female

Always eager to please

Just like her mother

The feel 

Of energy

The air itself

Moves faster

With the energy of youth

Combined

With the energy of new love

The view

An American masterpiece

A melting pot

Of features

Faces so familiar

And also strange

The taste

Of home cooked meals

Each a labor of love

Of children's boo-boos

Brought to your lips for those kisses

Which instantly make them all better

Of my new love's kiss

Who made my life all better
