I would like to hold your hand as it holds this green leaf, yellowed, that fell early from its tree, this Autumn. And I would like to imagine that it feels your careful care, for your eyes are warmed by your heart, and I would let you sadly nestle into me as a bird folds into its nest, resigning itself to a storm. For my heart is as large as a city, and it glows with the fire that, with the right mischievous love, shall serve to inspire thousands upon thousands to inspire thousands upon thousands. Waylon H. Lewis
About This Quote

Rainer Maria Rilke said, "I would like to hold your hand as it holds this green leaf, yellowed, that fell early from its tree, this Autumn. And I would like to imagine that it feels your careful care, for your eyes are warmed by your heart, and I would let you sadly nestle into me as a bird folds into its nest, resigning itself to a storm. For my heart is as large as a city, and it glows with the fire that, with the right mischievous love, shall serve to inspire thousands upon thousands." Being in love is an experience of great power. It can be so powerful that you feel like you are changing the world with every movement of your fingers.

It feels like you could burst at any moment with an outpouring of love so huge that it cannot be contained within the confines of one person's heart. That feeling of power can inspire others to act out of love just as powerfully.
