Words that Stir (2nd edition)

I love this. I love looking deeper. Each month the oh so talented Liz of Liz Godfrey Photography come together and do just this. Liz chose one of my favorite poems from e.e. cummings “i carry your heart with me”.  A poem about an absurd love, a selfless love, a true love.

When we first decided on this poem I had another idea in mind that I was going to shoot. But then I saw my husband and our youngest outside together. Theirs in an absurd love, a selfless love, a true love. This is what I shot.

…and the words that inspired us ❤

[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in)

BY 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 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)
