i carry your heart with me

-e.e. cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

    I love e.e. cummings. And this poem. :) I also love your website. I’ve been browsing through your posts for a while now and find it all very encouraging. I especially enjoyed the “Consider this” series of letters to your daughter. What a great gift. :)

    “and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
    and whatever a sun will always sing is you”

    Oh, how incredible is that. Sigh.

    Just had a chat with my partner, who’s been away for ten days – and a week to go – so this poem resonates with me. We carry each others’ hearts. I’ll share the poem with him, and he will smile.

    The late Michael Hedges set this poem to music on his 1990 album Taproot. I really like what he came up with. You can see a YouTube video of Hedges performing this in 1990 at the Bottom Line at:
