Karma

The Moral Sphere of You

By brandee youngclausPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

You are a prodigy of the universe, some cosmic and inevitable right that has been done unto me after years of handing dollars out to strange men on the side of the highway with signs that say "not for booze."

Your smile is a portrait of atoms and chemical reactions all placed into one to make me happy, for every traumatic event that has ever tucked me into its clutches.

Your chest is evaporated precipitation that has fallen from the sky that link together and form a small cloud where I can rest my head and feel safe, for once, for every dollar I've half given to a charity I don't know in the checkout line of my local grocery store.

The way you brush your hair up and out of your face as you hide behind your blanket, is the wind across the water of the hidden coy pond in my backyard, that I find solace in and run my fingers through when I'm sad, for every college bake sale I found myself up at 3 AM baking for even though I was too depressed to join any of the clubs they were fundraising.

Your laugh is every key stroke of every one of my favorite piano songs that has been specifically plucked from the neurons in my brain all meshed into one compilation meant to send chills over my entire body, for every phone call I've answered in the middle of the night to help someone talk out their problems even though I had my own.

Your craziness is a wavelength that meets at just the right pitch and just the right time to counter mine, for every person I've told every little nook and cranny of the personality that is so over-sewn into these blue veins, who doesn't fucking deserve to know me like that.

Your love though...

there's no karma for that,

I don't deserve that.

But I love you.
