POEM: SONG OF THE LOVER
Alone in the Universe...
Alone in the dark, forbidding forest of life,
Until...
I heard a sound so sweet,
So compelling that,
I turned to follow it as if,
Fate had decreed I must.
As I walked, the forest became greener,
Flowers bloomed and
Bushes bore sweet fruit, as
The sound grew nearer... sweeter...
It was a voice, a woman's voice,
And, as my footsteps took me,
Along its path of song and beauty,
I stepped into a glen filled with love song.
There, bloomed all beautiful blossoms,
There, birdsong accompanied,
The singing of the woman,
Who raised her face and sang to me.
No longer alone was I, who heard the song,
Sung by the sweet woman whose
Shining gaze and loving words,
Welcomed me to her place of beauty.
Without understanding words or song,
I sang back to her as her smile
Widened with understanding and recognition,
And our songs joined and soared....
As did our hearts and souls,
No longer alone, but that best of both,
Lovers in all things who found one another,
In the vastness of the Universe.
And as we sang, the words dissolved
Into only feelings of love and joy,
For there are no words for
The happiness of true love.
Together we sang the song of the lover,
A song different from any other,
A song begun as a solo tune,
Becoming the best when sung by two.
And so we joined the chorus,
Of lovers past and future,
One bound in joy to one forever,
As they share the song of the lover.
