Quite simply, you are a parallel revolution

By: Brooke Shippee

Life is a never-ending coil

With twists and turns

And you are the one thing that I did not count on.



You are the mistake in a waltz.

You are the messy footprint on starched carpet,

You are a wrinkle on pressed sheets.

Your entrance was not marked

By a calendar day

Nor a smudge in time.



But you...



Quite simply,

In this parallel revolution,

You are the earth.



Your smile is the equator.

Your eyes are the horizon.

Your gaze is the orbit.



You are the gravity holding me in place.



You are limitless.

As the sky is to the moon

And the earth is to the sun.



And I

Am your zodiac

In this



Parallel revolution.
