Vacancy

We all have a strong yearning to be needed. We desire more than a simple want from those around us. We want those we care about to need us - sometimes in the smallest senses and sometimes in the greatest.

I want a small place carved into the heart of each person I share a relationship with. I want to be given the creative freedom and endowment of trust to architect great structures of strength, beauty and virtue within the spaces I am so cautiously allocated. To have a chance to paint great murals dedicated to the intoxicating highs and crushing lows. I want the opportunity to leave something behind more beautiful than the vacancy that would have been in my absence.

For that, I would hollow out a place in my own heart for the same.
