I wrote this poem recently for a friend after a long conversation about all the things we worried about for the future. After we talked, I walked away and the words that came over me went like this: how could you possibly be afraid? All is love. You are swimming in love. I hope you enjoy.

Swimming in Love
Here we are, just swimming in love
and wondering
what’s going to happen next Tuesday
and if this thing or that thing is the right one or
the wrong one.
Here we are
worried about money and bills and
heaven and hell and where to live and
what it means that we have fallen
again.
And here we are, just swimming in love.
Here we are—just swimming in love,
frantic over sales and business growth
and Twitter followings
and who does or doesn’t “like” us
online.
And here we are, my dear,
just swimming, swimming, swimming
in love.
Here we are, just swimming in love
and questioning everyone, including ourselves,
wondering when we’ll be left
next because
we’ve always been left before.
Here we are,
waning in strength, in peace,
in joy, in power
because…
What we don’t know can hurt us
and what we don’t know is
we’re swimming in love.
I am not afraid of the fire inside of me
anymore. I am not afraid of my power, or yours
because here we are, more beautiful
than we ever imagined.
Here we are, just swimming in love.

I think Thursday has now become my favorite day of the week. You are a true warrior poet through and through!
Thanks, Allison! I really loved this! Reminded me a my journey and how I got from “there” to here…I got here because of love. 🙂
This is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing it!
So full of beauty and truth. And though I’ve never never met you, I assume you are, also–brimming with beauty and truth. You’re a blessing Allison. Thank you for writing and for sharing.
Best Way to Get Your Ex Lover Back Fast Even If Your Situation Seems Hopeless!. I just got my husband back through the help of genuine love spell caster Lord Zuma. My name is Emily Sarah am from Tx,USA. My husband left me for another woman, This was just 3 years of our marriage. The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called Lord Zuma, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 12 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 12 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. thanks to Lord Zuma . if you are here and your Lover is turning you down, or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact Lord Zuma for help now..
