The Picture behind Even As Bones

 


I came across this picture a couple years ago and thought to write a peom on it. So many things about it gave me a poetic nudge. From the moon in the background (you'll get to know, I'm a huge Selenophile), to the heart shape formed by the tree, to the body (or should I say bone) language between those two. LOL! Looks like love to me.

WETIN CONCERN LAWYER WITH REFUGEE MIGRANTS AND INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS?

Interesting title, huh? Can you believe that a lawyer wrote that? Yes, an actual gone to law school, passed the bar exams, and called to the bar, lawyer. I say it’s disgraceful. It’s common knowledge for us lawyers that there is hardly any… no, there is absolutely no aspect of life and society that law does not entail. I stand by that. Law covers everything. I mean even the most “archaic” of norms and social concepts are engulfed into an aspect of law – customary law. No, seriously, you’ll think you know half there is to know about law then you find something that is Greek to you and it’s fascinating all over again. That’s one of my favourite things about law. Anyway, my colleague at the bar (forgive me, but I’m ashamed to say), laughs at the idea that there’s a link between law, refugee migrants and internally displaced persons. Yes, there was a laughing emoji I refuse to include in the title. Like I said, one cannot know all there is to law. Granted. But it takes simple legal reason...

THE ART OF SAYING NO: SETTING BOUNDARIES WITHOUT GUILT

  Do you find it difficult to say no to your family, friends, or co-workers? Do you find yourself saying yes to or doing something you never thought you’d, or simply just don’t want to? Why is that? And why is it important to get a hold of your ability to say no and set boundaries for your well-being. Why is it important to start doing you and not somebody else? Let’s begin with why it’s difficult to say no. We say yes to a lot of things, sometimes uncomfortable, or unspeakable things for a lot of reasons. The fear of rejection for one, makes us worry that declining a request will damage relationships or make us seem unkind. It is an inherent human need to feel loved, accepted and should I say, praised. Sometimes we fear that saying no to a person, and thereby displeasing them, might cause them to pull away from us, or change their views and attitudes towards us, and that leads to my next point – people pleasing. Often, you’ll find that we prioritize the needs of others over ours...

Even As Bones 1

We lie to rest under our gravestones Our love travails even as bones So much when we were alive I couldn't or didn't get to say I feel it's not too late to say as we lay and decay Life brought to us so much more than grief and pain Not enough sunshine to dry up the rain Together we dreamed to spend eternity And wondered if we could possibly make it reality Not a day was there to rue Because i had you, this I knew In pain and sorrow I watched you bleed In the same shoes I was, no one to plead I'd love to see you when I close my eyes And share the grave, no matter the size  As we go down this death road together With you I long to spend my forever Even as our bodies turn to sand, and our bones crisp as cones I will eternally love you, even as bones
