A frisson of joy envelopes the rememberies.
Where mystic music and ancient twilights and gentle surf caresses the soul,
fading the footprints of painful recollection and
sunset gold burnishing smooth the edges of loss,
was that very first time when your eyes
Locked with my soul.
I met you there, in that twilight.
A gaze that turned chance into a tryst wrapped in sanctity
cloaking all inhibitions in a perfect imperfection and
magic like fairy dust writing each moment and the present
straining like wild horses to merge with an unwritten future.
Every hope and dream seemed content
like the struggle of life was dying no more
and the Universe had been foretold and waited
for such a time as this to stand still all time
and breath to birth
The Wonder of First Love.
Do you remember still?
That irreparable moment where emotions collide
with unbearable magnetism and no apologies
and time stands stiller than breath
and life begins and is lived and may die
in the moments that build with unrelenting passion
that no force on earth can compete with or interfere in
and every hope and dream waits in a heartbeat
for a Happily Ever After in an unforeseeable future
as two hearts collide in the painful ecstasy
Of merging into one.
And even now as the sun comes again
Rising on the dreams of tomorrow,
Is our moment held in the twinkle of Eternity,
A living legacy whispering to the new leaves
Reborn from the snow on the trees of our land.
Always and forever, I love you.
By Pleiades, Orion, Arcturus, the Lion,
I will find my way by the path of the Stars.
The circadian heartbeat of the Universe find us
In love - my Love,
We'll be near
When we're far.
for Gary, the love of my life and 28 years of marriage
The Wonder of First Love
