i carry your heart with me

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)

- ee cummings

We went to see a rainy Saturday matinee of "In Her Shoes" this weekend. I have long forgotten this cummings poem but hearing it read aloud in the film brought tears to my eyes. I understand it much more at this point in my life than when I first read it in my teens. Cummings weird punctuation and lack of capitalization used to bug the hell out of me. Now, I'm more relaxed and open to taking in the words and the sentiment, over the delivery.
