Welcome My Love

Even before I understood my need for you, saw your face, heard your voice, or kissed your lips, you were there.

I have seen myself reflected in your eyes as you touched me while whispering the depths of your heart.

You have been my soft place, my wise counsel, my inspiration, my sun parting the dark clouds in moments of doubt.

You have been my tender lover, lifting me to such heights I could easily gather stars.

We have shared horizons, seasons, laughter, tears.

With sorrow you have scattered my dust to the wind on a lone mountain top, only to smile when you realized I was still there.

Everything is as intended, from the moment a first step made, the journey is complete.

The path for us has been long, each day a stepping stone closer to this moment.

Oh, there you are my love, welcome.

I knew you were with me all the long, I could feel you.

Mattie’s Eyes

Mattie’s eyes are of the deepest brown, they see.

Mattie’s eyes see.

The single drop of morning dew on a flower’s petal.

Mattie’s eyes see.

The glowing colors of a rainbow under cloudy skies.

Mattie’s eyes see.

Jewels on the beach cast up by a generous sea.

Mattie’s eyes see.

The full Moon set against a starry night’s sky.

Mattie’s eyes see.

The the fiery colors of the evening sunset.

Mattie’s eyes see.

The field of freshly mown hay, the mountain, the waterfall, the babbling brook.

Mattie’s eyes see.

All the beautiful and wondrous gifts of nature.

Mattie’s eyes are of the deepest brown, they see, her finger moves, the shutter and aperture obey her command. Frame by frame, we see the world as seen through Mattie’s eyes.

Jade Green

Jade green pools reflect my soul.

Around them waves of red-gold fire dance.

They cascade over alabaster bluffs and flow toward the valley of life.

The sun comes out and warms me.

Red rose petals part and invite, I draw near and crush sweet nectar from them.

Soft willow limbs embrace and hold me close.

Entwined, two now one.

I breathe deep, contentment.

Bliss, Bliss, Bliss.

I am home.
