... a poem by Harlon Rivers about the evolution of love ~
The Epitome of Grace
we go where we don't know the way
whispering something only we can hear
your heart exhales a symphony in a passionate sigh ,
one can wait a lifetime never being completely sure
that what we hoped and dreamed would become crystal clear
faded memories left “etched in stone” traces ;
pathos abandoned ashes scattered on some distant horizon’s rocky shoal
clarity lost in a muddled moment of wanting what was taken ,
more than what is given ,
leaving a daunting void , seemingly too big to fill
even lives evolving in continuous motion
can seem as if time stands st still ~
when the deepest breaths become uneasy ,
speechlessness adorns the romantic blissful silence ,
falling forward ... gracefully surrendering into you
our poignant sensual embrace
is like awakening in the essence of a rosebud
the epitome of an amazing grace
sensitive to the most intimate touch ,
floating breathlessly on a fervent uplifting breeze
a warm breath of passionate blush
blossoms with a loving yet vulnerable natural esprit ,
a vibrant ray of hope shining on the cloudiest days ,
your true light's spirit shines throughout
even when the darkest nights turn blue
I will always love you unconditionally ~
No matter what destiny unveils …
