A Lion's Share

A lion A Lion's Share What feast The possibilities alone Blow my mind and push me forward As if I hired the most expensive party director Knowing they know more than me I follow their every suggestion The flowers should be this color The lighting should be this way The music shall be this You will walk to the left and then to the right There have been few times in my life that I believed I did not know which way I wanted to go Few times I did not understand or have a very strong felt opinion what color I wanted But now all of it pales Pale blue bright blue, dark blue great gigantic sky filled Enigmatic unstoppable blue I cared. Trust me I cared. I've had every detail Then suddenly there was you Now I don't care about a single thing that I cared about before Because now there's you There's only you Joyfully you Fantastically you There's not an opinion I have that does not ask itself to step down Be quiet. Be still Listen Because there is you I set my have everything I have ever needed in my entire life Because there is you

Dear Ingrid, this is a breathtaking celebration of love's transformative power. The imagery of surrendering to the guidance of a party director beautifully parallels the experience of falling deeply in love. Your artistic words convey the profound shift in perspective that comes with finding true love, where everything else pales in comparison to the joy and presence of the beloved. Very heartfelt and enchanting ode to love's embrace. - Blessings, Daniel
